Default Re: H1N1 or Swine Flu

As I understand this the current strain is swine which is relatively mild due to the fact that it is a non human strain and it is not as adaptive to a human host. If this virus circulates long enough to combine with a human strain of flu virus which commonly emerges in the fall the two can combine and form a highly aggressive virus which is very adaptive to a human host. This is the pattern which caused the flu pandemic of the early 1900's.
