The swine flew? Come on people, we all know pigs can't fly!

To Marc L from Manchester...
The National Guard would need to be called in because idiots panic and get violent. It doesn't mean there is real cause to panic - it's just what those who cannot think their way through a problem prefer to do. Sad really.

Leave it to the media to try and put lipstick on this pig to boost circulation!

Linda - the CDC did find patient zero and he had absolutely no contact with pigs. It's the flu...get over it. Let's stay away from cows...we might get mad cow disease. Come on!

On a lighter note, those pigs are so cute!

If this is nothing, then why has the National Guard now been ordered to guard the stocks of Tamiflu in some states? When was the last time the National Guard was called into service because of a regular flu? Yup, it's all hype...just ignore it. Keep coughing and sneezing on people... You're right Tim...The pigs are harmless...They stand in their own crap all day, and they are STILL cleaner than most people.

"That is good reason to be worried about contact with domesticated farm animals. Someone needs to do their job and investigate the source."

Linda, you need to do your own investigating. It's ideas and comments like yours that cause panic and ignorance.

Thousands die every year from flu strains. This one just happens to be famous. Don't panic..

I absolutley love to eat pigs. I wrap my sausage with bacon and use buns made out of pork chops that are glazed with baconaise.
Still, I am H1N1A free. If anyone has already gone off the deep end and slaughtered their pigs...I would be happy to take them off your hands.

Swine flu is called that for a reason. The first human to get the "infectious disease" did so from a pig. Now humans give it to each other, sure, but it began elsewhere. That is good reason to be worried about contact with domesticated farm animals. Someone needs to do their job and investigate the source.

Does anyone else get the whole "The sky is falling...the sky is falling" feeling on this whole thing? It is the flu people! People get it all the time! It has been this way for thousands of years!

This whole thing just proves that America is so in the dark, and will believe anything that TV tells them to without actually reading into it at all. There will probably be some stupid idiot out there that will blame the pigs for this. Hopefully they won't harm them.
- Justin, Manchester

What ever happened to educating people, not pandering to their ignorances? No wonder we have become a society of idiots!
- Deborah, Manchester

Poor pigs, getting a bad rap because the media has nothing else to talk about but the swine flu. The media have beaten the economy to death, so now they're beating the swine flu to death. What next?
- Beth, Candia

The pigs are harmless, the public is dumb and the media is evil.
