Health officials are investigating a never-before-seen form of the flu that combines pig, bird and human viruses and which has infected seven people in California and Texas. All the victims recovered, but the cases are a growing medical mystery because it's unclear how they caught the virus.

This pandemic sounds like the work of a nutjob scientist like the one at the end of the movie "Twelve Monkeys".
I don't care what Janet "The Dyke" Napolitano says, I think Dr. Al Queda cooked this virus up - probably in Iran.
I agree with you on the nutjob scientist!
PING!
They were also curious little cats in 2005, “resurrecting” the 1918 Spanish Flu virus as well.
Probably not. But, the US is frequently criticized because of our industrialized farming practices. But, it those industrialized farm practices that does quite a bit to separate and quarantine these food-stock species like chickens and pigs from ever co-mingling. Our pigs and chickens are by-in-large raised indoors, away from other possibly contagious pigs or animals.
But, in places in rural Mexico where people literally live right next to or even with chickens (as is very prevalent in Latin America) or pigs. In other words, they create a petri dish with humans, pigs and birds that begs for these viral mutations to happen.

IMO, (and I'm no scientist or doctor) this is NOT naturally occurring.

I Posted this comment literally minutes before I saw this article, and now I am really impressed: I compared the genomic sequence of the swine flu to previous influenza strains and found the best concordance is with H5N1 and H3N2:
“These are the genomic sequences of the viruses isolated so far: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/FLU/SwineFlu.html
I did a comparison of sequences for two major proteins of the swine flu strains isolated in California (ACP41932) and Texas (ACP41934).
I was shocked at the results: The closest matches to the Polymerase/hemagglutinin proteins are from the following accession numbers: ABM 92273, ACI06178, ABR87650 and ABR 87645. You can look up the origin of these viruses by entering the accession numbers in the search line on this page:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein
But the summary is that they are isolated at either the CDC, the USNavy research unit in Nasr, Cairo, the US AF institute for operational health in TX, or the Pasteur institute in Cambodia. The polymerase protein is from Indonesian H5N1 and the Hemagglutinin is from H3N2 or H1N1 north american strains.
I did all of this using the NIH/NCBI website which anyone could use. If this were truly a naturally occurring virus as a result of antigenic drift, the lab strains and the strain we are seeing would not be so closely related because it rapidly mutates.
This is scary because in all my training I cannot think of a reason someone would make a virus like this. It is not highly deadly, and it is sensitive to Oseltamivir. My suspicion is that this may be a very unstable virus and it will mutate into a more dangerous virus as it blows through the population. And obtw I do have a degree in Biochemistry, I am not trying to feed conspiracy, just passing along information.”
We're seeing the fruits of that research all over the world. This virus was man-made as i've been saying all along.
[BTW, thanks for posting this. I just found the source this morning.]
"Scientists in the US have reconstructed the H1N1 virus in a bid to better understand how it became such an effective killer - and to also bolster knowledge in the face of current H5N1 bird flu threat"

This flu is very suspicious.
Also I remember about 3 months back an article posted on FreeRepublic that warned against a flu strain coming later than the normal flu season that was not the strain that the injection was made up for. Does anybody else remember that article or where to find it? I wonder how they knew it was coming?
I remain unconvinced that this virus was manufactured by scientists.
