15. What I don't get is the part about it being a combination of swine, bird and human flu. How
did that happen? Do different animal virus strains cross over and recombine like that very often? (The article I read that in said that this flu is unique but I wasn't sure if it was talking about those traits or the fact that it seems to kill healthy adults, which it said is unusual with your average flu.)
