CNN stated last night that live-pig-to-human is the major disease-transmission route for this flu. However, Wikipedia and other sources now state that human-to-human is a more important vector. What's going on?Why is CNN misinforming people about swine flu?
I'm not sure about CNN. What I do know is that the disease is in fact spread person to person. It is a combination of bird flu, pig flu and human flu. It also appears that the immune response in healthy people, the immune system attacking this virus full force, is actually making it worse. This is why the majority of people who would normally be ok if they got a normal strain of influenza are dying and children and the elderly are not dying from it.
CNN is not misinforming anyone. The more prevalent way of contracting swine flu has always been pig to human. The concern at present is that there seems to be additional human to human spread of swine flu virus. However:
1. Think about this: If Relenza and Tamiflu seem to be effective against the current strain of swine flu, and these vaccines were developed for a different strain of influenza, how much dangerously different could this swine flu be? The CDC says, symptoms for swine flu are typical "flu-like" and not some bizarre never before seen symptom. ""The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea."
2. The swine flu of concern is a category A influenza. Pig farmers have always caught a variant of swine flu. If you tested pig farmers around the globe, and their family, and anyone who worked with them- you'd find they have immunities against swine flu variations. What makes this one unique is that it doesn't seem to require pigs as a vector. What's different is how it is spreading, from person to person now, as opposed to from pig to person. In general, every year there are new strains of influenza that have mutated or were more resistant to existing vaccines and nobody ever warns about a pandemic from new cases.Why is CNN misinforming people about swine flu?
Well yeah the normal swine flu is pig to human but this one is human to human...its weird..seems more resistant..and its a combination of avian,pig and human...its weird how it started out since barack visited mexico...
If you want my opinion..i would say the global governments created this flu..to "control the population"..if you know what i mean by that...pandemic. My guess is if this flu is like the one that happen in the 20-30s..about 100 million people will die by the end of this pandemic..Why is CNN misinforming people about swine flu?
It, like a lot of other viruses is able to mutate. Which it has. They don't know how but they do know that it has. It can now be spread from human to human. And you can't trust Wikipedia for anything as it is edited by you and me. That is why teachers don't accept it as a reference.
It's definitely not pig-to-human. It is a human-to-human spread disease, so don't let them fool you. As for why they are misinforming people? I don't know, and I personally think it is dumb. One of the reasons I don't watch CNN.
Not sure about CNN, but go here for good info:

Wikipedia is edited by random people- you can not trust it as a news source.
Anyway, the flu started out as pig-to-human (probably why CNN said that) but has progressed into human-to-human transmission.
CNN spreads spicy fabricated news to serve interests of notorious Jewish lobby in USA.
No moron, listen Swine flu is originated from pig and it does infect people, like farmers or people who work with pigs, but they don't die or have problem. Swine flu is a mutation between those, and it never spread from human to human, but now it did and no one knows why! CNN is crap, but you gotta open your ear and eyes!
