I don't want to upset you, but earliest indications are 70-80% mortality.

There is a study being done in Asia now, of poultry workers in areas where Avian flu has been found, to find out if there are people who test positive for the virus but who weren't ill, or weren't seriously ill. So far, it's not encouraging. Few if any healthy people have had a mild case, it seems.

A large number of mild cases verified would mean that the flu possibly isn't as deadly as it first seems, but that doesn't seem to be panning out.
