I don't agree

There are two ways it mutates - by shift and  or by drift

So far its all drift and it has kept drifting and will keep drifting to the point it only has to make a couple more genetic changes and its a human pandemic virus.

Drift is when it does it all slowly and Shift is when it re-assorts when it meets another flu virus

both are possible but both work

it can drift to a human flu

We need some more reassortment first, Kilt!  

Don't worry, it will happen.  Throw some swine into the genetic mix and *BOOM!!* Dead
