SWINE Flu pandemic...are we seeing a trend...?

Is this just a coincidence?

2007 - Chinese Year of the Chicken
- Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia

2008 - Chinese Year of the Horse
- Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing

2009 - Chinese Year of the Pig
- Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of people around the globe

Next year is ... 2010
- Chinese Year of the Cock
- Is it too early to panic?
