[ScienceBlogs Channel : Medicine & Health] Swine flu: more on the genetics of the virus : Effect Measure: As you noted, per the interview, the HA gene is equidistant on the family tree of swine flu viruses from those that circulate in the US and Asia/Europe, on a "lonely branch" all by itself without close relatives, and that it has "been evolving somewhere and we didn't know about it." Is the latter explanation the only possible explanation, or is it even conceivable that this virus could have been manufactured? Yeah, potential tinfoil-hat territory, I know, but the following exchange is what makes me, as a layperson, wonder:

[portland indymedia - oregon & cascadia newswire] portland imc - 2009.06.27 - URGENT___BAXTER "AVIAN" FLU VIRUS ...: "Our best intelligence estimate is that pandemic Avian (bird) Flu has already been created through genetic engineering in the United States, fusing the deadly genome of the 1918 Pandemic, misnamed the 'Spanish Flu', with the DNA of the innocuous H5N1 virus in a growth medium of human kidney cells, according to the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine's manufacturer. Some virologists believe that this would insure that the man-made mutant virus recognizes human cells and knows how to invade them."

[BBC NEWS | Fergus On Flu] BBC - Fergus On Flu: What are the chances of dying from swine flu?: Nothing new there, experts say that the original 1918 H1N1 virus was with us until the 50's until crowded out by the pandemic strain that emerged in the late fifties, which came from wild ducks in the form of a re-assorted H2N2 virus, which experts also say then re-arranged again a decade later striking back in a H3N2 form - all with genetic parts of avian, swine and human flu. What struck me afterwards was the misleading thought within these blogs that the 'avian flu' part of the virus meant H5N1 - something people got very wrong, that particular avian flu is H5N1 in it's entirety - this is H1N1 - prompting some very worrying comments from people.

[ScienceBlogs Channel : Medicine & Health] Swine flu: update; and the containment mirage : Effect Measure: 1. Flu viruses are constantly remodelling themselves and where when a new strain occurs, like the present state in Mexico, it will take 6 months to develop a drug to combat it. It has to be noted that the Spanish flu that killed between 20 million and 100 million nearly 100 years ago (there is no definitive statistic in this respect as in 1918 the analysis was rudimentary, but where modern pandemic statisticians estimate that it was somewhere between the two huge figures), did its worst in the first 26 weeks.
