Scary. edit: more info Basically what most articles say is that since it's a bird flu at the moment it rarely passes from person to person, so only people who work with poultry in places where the avian flu is are at high risk, but flu viruses mutate and if it does mutate to spread more easily from human to human then we're screwed.
This sounds like a book I've read, but it was a cure for sometihng else Anyway, this.. epidemic will proabbly lead us to go crazy with vacceince and everything Scary and dont eat chickens!
