Actually Jane it is genically a new variation of H1N1 swine flu.
Just like the Spanish FLu was its own genetic variation of H1N1 swine flu
And yes the deadly flu outbreak in 1976 in the US was also a different variation of H1N1 flu virus
I'm now officially offended that Spanish Flu of 1918 is not called swine flu as it should have been called.
