Quoted because I guess I was not clear.
Swine flu, like Avian flu, is a strain of the H1N1 virus.
Saying that H1N1 = Swine Flu implies that all types of H1N1 are Swine Flu, which is wrong.
However, Swine Flu H1N1 is a subset of the H1N1 virus classification. So Swine Flu IS H1N1.
This is essentially like having a set of "Chevy V8s" and a subset of "Gen III"s.
ALL Gen IIIs are Chevy V8s.
NOT all Chevy V8s are Gen IIIs.
