caitriWHO to stop using term 'swine flu' to protect pigs:
"Rather than calling this swine flu ... we're going to stick with the technical scientific name H1N1 influenza A," Thompson said.
In other news, I am so fucking pissed at how the media is treating this whole thing.
People, it's the fucking flu! Newsflash: if you DON'T take small children and old people who are sick with the flu, they're gonna frikkin' die be the flu avian, swine, or otherwise. If you get the flu or are near someone who does, be hygienic!
Sheesh!
