My Way News - Top flu expert warns of a swine flu-bird flu mix
AP reports: "Scientists are unsure how likely this possibility is, but note that the new swine flu strain - a never-before-seen mixture of pig, human and bird viruses - has shown itself to be especially adept at snatching evolutionarily advantageous genetic material from other flu viruses."

Comment: Ok, fine, I was all prepared to ignore all the rest of the swine flu reporting unless and until it mutated, but merely one day after I decided to do that, they issue this warning that it could mutate along with another virulent strain into something even worse than both of them. I guess I'll have to keep paying attention to the swine flu...or whatever it's called now.
