Is it correct terminology to call it 'deadly' if it doesn't guarantee death if untreated?

Yes - black plague also doesn't guarantee death, but the ratio of those who die is high enough.

I think the media are definitely hamming this one up (no pun intended).
They all refer to it as "the deadly swine flu virus".
Sure people have died...in mexico.
Can't see evidence of it causing death anywhere else though....

No. I'm sure the Trades Descriptions Act would apply to this.

Syphilis was too fast, so he went for Maximus Porkus instead.

I’m just imagining an animal lover with a lisp visiting the STD clinic and saying ‘I think I’ve got Thwine Thyphilith’.

Have you seen the Little Piggies
Crawling in the Dirt ?

Always wear cliean shirts
To play around with

EVerywhere theres lots of Piggies
Living Piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
with their Piggy wives

Clutching forks and knives
Just to eat their bacon

Wouldn't he have caught Swine Syphilis?

Oink oink...me smells truffles....

Chuck some over here when you've found them. I'll crack open a Barolo.

[TimberWolf]

It might catch out the vegetarians though. That'll teach them not to be so smug.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of us have already had it.
