Just heard a BBC TV report that the "ground zero" of the recent swine flu outbreak had been pinpointed.
This implies that the virus was dropped into the area by plane -- something that several conspiracy theorists have suggested.
Is the BBC really confirming these rumours, or is it just another instance of journalists not understanding the meanings of words like "ground zero" and "epicentre"?

H1N1 (referred to as “swine flu” early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those caused by other influenza viruses. Health authorities across the globe are taking steps to try to stem the spread of swine flu after outbreaks in Mexico and the United States. The World Health Organization has called it a "public health emergency of international concern."
