nedhamson says:

Perhaps not a 50 million killer flu that's closer now - now that it's in pigs, the traditional next step to humans and human to human flu - but one similar to the one that killed a few million worldwide in 1957-1959 period.

A new pig influenza virus has been discovered that is made up of genes from both avian and swine flu viruses. USDA’s Agricultural Research Service veterinarians, along with other researchers at the National Animal Disease Center in Iowa, say the new strain –  H2N3  – belongs to the H2 flu viruses that last infected humans during the pandemic of 1957.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F0D2846D-3EF0-4EB7-93F2-74B1B6F419D3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
