The Associated Press: 'Israel must call new disease Mexico Flu, as swine unkosher'
Talkback
Title:So if a disease first appears in Israel...
Name:Isadora
City: BostonState: MA
it would be "the Israeli flu"? (Or the "Jew flu"?) We could have American flu Canadian flu and Chinese flu and French flu and... I think not.

By Yakov Litzman`s reasoning, shouldn`t observant Jews make sure that their kids` "chicken pox" has hashgacha (rabbinical supervision) and is designated as "glatt kosher"? ;-)
