Due to people thinking that they can catch the swine flu from eating pork, or from pigs, the World Health Organization wants the public to stop using the name "Swine Flu". And start using the real name of the virus - H1N1.
There were several things that promoted the changed. But most noticeably was when the government of Egypt ordered that all pigs - hogs - swine - inside Egypt should be killed. This totaled around 300,000 pigs that were killed - without a single reported case of swine flu in Egypt, and no evidence that pigs can transmit the disease.
