    Scary. :unsure:


    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.
