Actually the avian version of this flu has already been mutated in swine, and more than one person in Vietnam had died from it the last time I read about it, which was a couple weeks ago. They quarantined a plane at LAX that came in from Asia last week for several hours as well, though I didn't hear for sure if this is what the issue might have been.
Supposedly the Spanish flu epidemic 80 years or so ago was transmutated from pigs to human form, and was the most deadly flu epidemic ever -- either 20 or 40 million dead from it... I'd go look all this up but I'm too busy getting ready to move in a couple days and time is short, for sure.
