Yes, see also the answer of the question in the related question section below.
People started falling ill so the scientists, governments, and doctors ran tests to see what it was and where it came from. See the related questions below for more information about the 2009 Swine flu.
Some people do but it is incorrect. Swine simply means pig/hog. The flu, Swine Flu, is called that because it started as a virus that only infected pigs, so it was the flu that the swine got. Since viruses mutate easily, it changed into a virus that caused flu in people as well as pigs. The name Swine Flu stuck then and also now with the virus causing the pandemic which is actually a third strain of the swine flu virus that people pass to people.

Swine Flu is a new strain of flu that originates from pigs and can travel to Humans. It started in Mexico
well it started with the avion flu which mixed with swine flu (the origoinal non-human effecting) then with human flu
It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.
A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like virusThis is the name of the very specific strain that was selected to be used in the US approved vaccines for the Pandemic swine flu.See the related question below for more details of this nomenclature and other names of the 2009 Swine Flu.
No,there is absolutely no reason to believe that. The Swine Flu (2009 H1N1 influenza virus) is a mutation of a virus that pigs had, the mutation made it able to infect people too. The pigs who first had the flu that evolved into the Swine Flu were in a pig farm in the US, according to investigators tracking the origin of the disease.See the related question below about what caused the swine flu for more information on how it got started.
Anyone who has not had a flu vaccination each year since the pandemic and/or has not already had illness from the exact strain of flu as the pandemic swine flu. The annual flu vaccine has contained the H1N1/09 swine flu since the first regular flu season (in 2010 - 2011) after the discovery of the new strain in 2009. In the 2009 - 2010 flu season, a second vaccination against swine flu was required to be taken, in addition to the regular seasonal flu vaccination, to be immune. See the related question below for a list of those mostly likely to get, and have complications from, the 2009 swine flu (if they have not been vaccinated).
All of the US States have had epidemics of swine flu and many continue to still have cases in September 2009. It is expected that a new wave of the Pandemic flu will hit the US again during the regular flu season along with the strains that are expected to be the seasonal flus this year.
