Was swine flu discovered by mistake?
No, it was discovered after it was obvious that a highly contagious disease was circulating among the people in La Gloria, Mexico. The need to identify the illness to know how to treat the ill is what drove the epidemiologists and microbiologists to the discovery of the specific flu strain.
Can Swine Flu be cured if critcal?
There is no medicine to specifically cure the flu (any flu virus). However there are treatments for people who have serious complications of the flu, most of them are symptomatic treatments. There are also anti-viral medicines to lessen the duration and the severity of symptoms of the flu if given soon enough after exposure. An example of that is Tamiflu, but it is also not a cure as it still requires your immune system to "kill" the viruses. Those medicines just help your immune system while it is working to lessen the symptoms and eventually get rid of the virus in your body. Some of the symptomatic treatments for the critically ill with swine flu include oxygen supplementation, ventilator use to help the lungs breathe and get sufficient oxygen, treating secondary bacterial infections such as bacterial pneumonia with antibiotics, supporting the body systems and treating other underlying conditions so they do not get out of control, treating fevers and dehydration, etc.
Were treatments available for the 1976 Swine Flu?

What is the origin of the name swine lu?
Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.
