I haven't really been following this whole bird flu thing so far. Anybody know what the mortaility rate is?

Over 100,000 deaths predicted for the US if we have a major outbreak.

I heard far gloomier estimates than that. Hopefully, the gov't is on this thing.

Actually that is very optimistic. It is only about double of a regular flu season. I have heard estimates much higher than that.
