Until it mutates... then everybody starts dying.

Unless im wrong, something like the swine flu can mutate to outsmart an antibiotic but it could not mutate to outsmart a human immune system correct?

You can't kill a virus with an antibiotic.  And outsmarting the human immune system is what HIV does best.  It mutates quickly enough to stay ahead of the body.

Feels like i have man-bird-pig flu.  Got up at 5:45 AM, bed at 11 PM, awake at 1:30 AM all hot and achy, but have chalked it up to sunburn and muscle strain.
What box???

It just feels the same as ordinary flu... nothing more severe so don't worry if you happen to catch it.

Quoteman-bird-pig flu

Lol.
Others would merely say it was good humour.

Well, Bird Flu (H5N1) was apparently going to be our next pandemic and that blew over. Pretty quickly too, no recorded human deaths. Swine Flu (H1N1) seems to be little different to me, though there are a few deaths (a miniscule amount when compared to how long it's been around) these people were just unlucky, it will soon pass over despite its 'pandemic' status.

A pandemic just means it's spreading like wildfire. Doesn't mean it's dangerous. Ebola is super-infectious, but it kills people before it can spread too far. Other things spread, but don't kill the host.

The main thing to watch out for is that in previous big pandemics, there was a low-strength virus spreading in the spring. Then it mutated, and was really dangerous in the fall.

All pandemic means is that there are a significant number of cases in a signisicant number of countries, doesn't mean its doing much to the infected in most cases.
