I imagine that most of them had chickens running around under their feet about the house. That is usually the case.

Looks like 80 have died from it so far:

In 1918, when over 500,000 were killed from bird flu, children would sing this song:

“I had a little bird
Her name was Inza
I opened the windo,
and in-flew-inza.”

(How did the children know it was from the birds?)

This is something to seriously keep our eye on - thank you for the ping, nic.

I should have mentioned in #7 that the 1/2 million deaths were in the US.

That specific pandemic killed 50 million people worldwide.
