Judy Teeple: It's ‘H1N1,' not ‘swine' flu

I was a recent visitor to your area and thoroughly enjoyed my visit while biking and hiking the beautiful mountains and bike trails. I regularly read the Summit Daily News for its interesting articles. I would like to add that the current flu strain is called “H1N1” and not swine flu as reported in your paper. This directive was announced several weeks ago by the Dept. of Health and Human Services and was meant to dispel the misinformation about the origins of H1N1. Thousands of pork producers across the country are experiencing drastic declines in the sale of pork through the proliferation of the use of “swine flu” for the current flu strain.Please stop using “swine flu” and replace with the correct nomenclature — “H1N1.”
