Is this the same bird flu that has been killing millions since J F'n K said we were not doing enough about it in 2004? Cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, and malaria do kill millions. Bird flu is a shakedown scam that has killed hundreds in Asia. A place that one might note keeps live poultry and hogs inside their homes. There is a good reason that flu vaccines are developed by swabbing hog snouts in Asia to determine the prevalent strains and mutations.

Have you done much reading about this?
If not, I would suggest for your sake that you do.
Ever read about the 1918 flu?

Current mortality runing > 50% from Avian Influenza - i.e. the disease that is caught from close contact with birds. Avian Influenza is currently difficult to catch. If it mutates through genetic resortment or antigen drift, it has the potential to become easily transmittable from human to human. Current planning estimate is that the mortality rate will range from .2% to 2%. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported that a conference of subject matter experts reported that this assumption may be in error and the mortality could run much higher.
