Hi Shane! *waves*
Interesting article, but....
The swine flu we've been seeing the past few years sometimes comes out of areas with warmer weather. At this particular time, Mexico is very warm although I'm not sure about the humidity. I don't think it's even monsoon season in Tucson yet anyway.
The writer suggests flu shots. I'll pass on that one. 
I suspect that transmission is all of the above in the article. Best thing we can do is keep our immune systems in good running order with diet, supplements, avoidance of toxins, plenty of sunshine for the vitamin D, and good sanitary habits.
One for sure thing about a virus. It easily mutates. The latest scare could fizzle out as the "swine" flu virus changes, like in the old movie "Andromeda Strain". Here's hoping that's the case.
