concern among health experts that this feared mutation may be happening.

That IS chilling. The fear was that mutation is more likely to occur in Asia.

When a household comes down with this strain of flu where no members have physical contact with chickens or other fowl, then will be the time to worry.

I think it's because the virus would have existed there longer since it basically started there.

Seems like we have a bird flu 'fear' every few years or so. A few years ago we had a 'foot and mouth disease' fear. And SARS. The media, keeping our blood pressure up as usual.
