Despite the history of "swine flu" in the United States and the current alarm being raised over what has been estimated so far as a few hundred possible cases, the real danger appears to be what the problem is called, according to a federal report.
The Joint Staff Surgeon update today said: "[The office] has passed on per direction of the Homeland Security Council (HSC) via the National Joint Information Center (NJIC) EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - the use of the term 'Swine Flu' should be discontinued. The current influenza situation should be referred to as 'H1N1 Flu Outbreak.'"
According to the Army News Service, "swine flu" usually occurs in pigs, but some strains can be passed to humans and from person to person.
The new strain has been reported primarily in Mexico, but there also have been cases so far in Canada, Spain, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States.
