I tend to agree. If it didn't kill thousands in Chinese villages and towns, where they are exposed to birds being slaughtered, and the living conditions are crowded and unsanitary...it won't kill thousands here. At least not in its present form.
Animals dont belong in the house.I grew up on a farm and chickens are a nasty creature.[unless they are southern fried in flour and buttermilk]!
"At least not in its present form."
Those are the key words. In its prensent form it may wreck havoc on the poultry industry (so maybe store some canned chicken if you love the stuff!).
If it becomes human to human transmitted and doesn't reduce in lethality it will be a bad time.
