Swine flu...or just common flu?

I suspect out of all this swine flu business it might just be the normal flu making its rounds. Like it does every year, only this time its a bit stronger. Scientists even say that the flu virus gets stronger as time passes. Ive read articles of it being around as early as WWI so it is capable of dyeing down, but just this time its flaring up again. Just let time go by and i suspect this will pass. Then we can start something else that's 'dangerous' to our health.
Why don't we just look after ourselves anyways? We all know whats good for us and whats bad for us and that looking after yourself your more capable of fighting of disease. Henry the 8Th had malaria, varicose ulcers, possible brain damage, and suffered from migraines after a smack to the front of his head, apparently he had syphilis as well, and to top it all off, diabetes. In the end everything just ravishing his unhealthy body, but my point is in the days when medicine was leaches, Henry lived with multiple infections, but he was a fit active young man, and only started getting ill when he stopped moving and couldn't play anymore. An that's my point we care more about the cure, why don't we fix the cause?
