Why did people stop saying "Mexican Swine Flu"?
The strand originated in Mexico and was related to the pig population. I suspect politically correct bs… "We don’t want to offend the Mexicans!" "We don’t want to offend swine [producers]!" "Oh no!!!!"

LOL no the swine flu did not originate in Mexico, it has been around for awhile.
If you wanna get technical, the first outbreak was in 1976 at Fort Dix. The most recent outbreak was traced back to the Philippines in 2007. It happened to receive the most recent attention in Mexico only because this is when it was discovered that another outbreak had occured, but at the same time there were even more cases in Southeast Asia.
Hah~~
You’re awesome.
I still call it that.
