It's more like foot and mouth than SARS, as it's an animal disease that in it's normal form doesn't affect humans. I think it's actually less dangerous than foot and mouth though, seeing as eating a bird that had bird flu won't do anything to you (the idea of cooking something is to destroy bacteria/viruses). The only way a human can get it is if they already have a full case of influenza and then basically get jiggy with an infected bird. You don't get it just by being close. In Turkey it spread to some kids.. but that's because they were playing barefoot football with diseased chicken heads. Sounds like a blast to me.

Okay this should help. One thing to remember about bird flu is that it cannot be passed on from human to human. It can only be passed on from birds to humans so if a human catches bird flu yes it can be deadly but it is not contagious.
The best thing to do is not to panic. If there is a bird flu crisis in Britain then we will all be prepared and ready for it. The virus that the birds have can kill birds and also humans therefore it is important if there is a crisis for us to be careful.
Do remember that only one case of bird flu has been confirmed and no where in the world is there a major bird flu crisis.
Don't panic, thats the best advice.

People are worried incase it mutates into a new strain that can pass from human to human, but as yet it hasnt happened so unless your a farmer theres nothing to worry about.
Also to quote the disrespectful person who said 3 people have died of the deadly H5N1 your wrong! 160 people have died of it.
But like i keep saying were in safe hands and our goverments are ready to deal with it.

More people died in car accidents in the last day than have of bird flu in its entirty. Shoulnt we be running in circles worrying about them insted?
Its media hype.
The deadly desise isnt even real! Its fictional. Its a possiblty, just as much as alines invadeing and blowing us to hell are.
But that hasnt happened, and nether has the killer birdflu strain which can pass human to human.
It can only be contracted via direct contact, so dead birds wont give it you you, theres only one fatal strain, and thats not even that bad.
But if you are planning on eating uncookied dead birds, you probaly would die, just not of bird flu, more like a desise that is actaly deadly...

YOU HAVE MORE CHANCE OF DIEING CROSSING THE ROAD THAN CATCHING BIRD FLU!
MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED OF BEING RUN OVER BY BUSSES THAN BIRD FLU WORLDWIDE

Or falling off a cliff...
If you're worried, become a vegitarian OR say to yourself we all have to die some day.

You cant get it from cooked birds, so vergiatrans have just as much chance of catching it as everyone else.
Possibly more if everyone went vegiratan, since less would be killed and cooked for safe consmption, and more would be around, which would vasly increase the spread of the desises...
