It's the clash of the titans !
Mad Cow aka "Creutzfeldt-Jakob"

versus
Cavia porcellus aka "Swine Flu"

Actually, I didn't have any pictures of pigs ready on my desktop, so I thought I'll use this opportunity to show off my cute little Cavia porcellus, which are not pigs of course, but luckily for me, also not health hazardous.
On a more serious note, the results so far:
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: 188,579 cases worldwide
Death toll: 1 person per 1,000,000 in the US (Source: CDC)

Swine flu: More than 1,674 reported cases to date worldwide (Source: CDC)
Death toll: over 100 persons to date
I think I'll have to give Round 1 to Swine influenza.
Be careful, stay away from pork and Mexico....for the time being.
Funny thing is, there were many laughing cows since the outbreak of Creutzfeldt-Jakob. I wonder why.
