Is there a new flu going around fall 2017?
Yes, and since the new flu that caused the pandemic in 2009 (H1N1/09 "Swine flu") there have been other new types identified (and even some new strains of avian flu have been identified) around the world. The viruses that cause the flu are mutating into new types of flu all the time. Cold viruses also mutate easily and quickly, this is a reason that vaccines can not be developed in time before they mutate again leaving the vaccine ineffective). Sometimes our immune systems have antibodies against older types of flu that will work to prevent the new types that are not that much different, but then other times the new influenza virus will have mutated into types for which our prior immunities will not be effective to prevent the new flu from making us ill. We will have to either get vaccines made as we did in 2009, or we will have to leave it to our bodies to make new antibodies that will block the new flu, but we will feel the symptoms of the flu in the interim.

How is Swine Flu related to bird flu?
Swine flu is caused by a new influenza virus that has genetic material from several different flu viruses that combined to form the new H1N1/09. The different types of flu involved in the development of the new virus are three types of swine flu (Asian, European, and American), avian "bird" flu, and human flu. Other than that relationship and that they are both influenza viruses, there is no other real relationship. Symptoms, mortality rates, and transmission are quite different between bird flu and swine flu.See the related question below for more informationon what caused this new type of flu.
