This is absolutely absurd. We`re talking about a disease, not a new snack food! What could the name of a type of influenza have to do with kashrut? Since when are words classified as kosher or treif? What is going on? And maybe calling a disease "Mexico Flu" is offensive to Mexicans? Is that religiously permissible? What is this crazy country coming to?
