Solution

Swine flu is not a chronic disease in true sense. Chronic diseases are the ones which develop over time and do not appear suddenly, but swine flu develops at a faster rate as compared to chronic diseases. It can be considered as a chronic illness as there is not cure for it yet. So, the infection stays for a longer time and affects the body for a longer duration.
