International Epidemic of Unkosher Flu

What is Swine Flu? Well, health authorities believe it is a combination of pig,bird, and human disease. Israeli Health Minister Yakov Litzman believes it is a flu with an unkosher name. Egypt has ordered the slaughter of all pigs on account of it. Many people have died, it supposedly being the cause. Mexico has ordered a shutdown of it's city because of it. But, how did this disease even come into existence? I mean, it's been a while since there has been a worldwide epidemic of one certain kind of illness. But, of course, we all knew it would happen eventually. How do we protect our selves? Here's a great answer.
And maybe this is another one
"and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you.Of their flesh shall ye not eat , and their carcase shall ye not touch ; they are unclean to you. " Lev.11:7-8
And another one-
""The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses." Deut.14:8
Maybe these are the answers, maybe not. But whatever the answer to why this has happened, HaShem knows all things, and we are in His hands!
