Considering how many research dollars and how many news hours have been spent on it, I was shocked at the number of total victims ever.

That only happens because, in this case, Mexican village farmers were raising so many pigs crowded in one place. Pigs naturally wouldn't be so crowded together, either, which increases the risks of transmission and creation of new strains of diseases by a *lot*. The problem simply wouldn't exist otherwise. Vegetables and fruits don't acquire new strains of influenza. The virus may not be deadly on the whole, but people have certainly died of it; a professor recently died near me, and he was in pretty good health otherwise. The sad thing is that the whole thing could have been prevented by a healthier and tastier lifestyle choice. For E-Kills-

Generally, the strains of influenza that affect those animals don't have the right receptors to be able to infect humans, but as a result of the close proximity of both pigs and fowl to humans and the virus's inborn errors in copying its genome, it is occasionally able to recombine and transmit to humans. It is extremely unlikely that eating pigs was the origin of transmission to humans because (1) the virus is concentrated in respiratory tissues and found much less in other tissues (i.e. more appetizing tissues) and (2) the virus is killed by cooking, the stomach's acidic environment, and other less than hospitable conditions generally found in the chain of events between the animal's slaughter and the table. So your assertion that the swine flu should cause us to eat less pork is silly. Also, it is extremely unlikely that the swine flu originated where it was first discovered in Mexico. Based on DNA sequencing and our understanding of flu transmission (which is very very well understood), it looks like swine flu (more properly called 2009 novel H1N1 influenza A) originated in Asia, like virtually all other flu strains of clinical concern. It is the close proximity of swine, fowl, and humans all cohabitating in Asia which, like it or not, promotes transmission to humans. But don't believe me, read about it in the literature. Here's a good start: Morens et al. The Persistent Legacy of the 1918 Influenza Virus. 2009. New England Journal of Medicine. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/361/3/225 Flu strains are common in both swine and in fowl.
