Did swine flu really start from pigs??

MY QUESTION IS... DOES THE SWINE FLU ACTUALLY COME FROM PIGS???????i have heard a few contradicting answers to this on the news and read some on the internet. does anyone know FOR SURE.... also i think it's sad that the pork industry is suffering w/ what pork was already on the shelves. i ate bacon 3 times this week and i'm just fine! but seriously, i'm pretty nervous about this flu! i live in GA and it made it's way into GA 2 days ago. i'm now glad that my son has been on a break from daycare while i look for a job.

what do ya'll think?

Smile, it's contagious!

H1N1 Influenza Virus per the CDC, the new name for swine flu, is a new srain in combination from swine, bird, and human flu.  There is no vaccine for it.  Although they are working to find one and hope to by the fall. The current vaccine for flu does not give protection against it either.  Recommended:  frequent hand washing, STAY HOME if feeling unwell, avoid groups whenever possible, use caution when traveling.

I would like to know for sure if this swine flu comes from pigs also. I'm from GA and I'm very concern with this out break. they should call this the Mexican flue cuz that's where it came from.  I also think it would not be here if we'd stop  these people temporarily going back and forth to Mexico. people should stay in their own country I think. Guess I will get me a bottle of rum lol!
