H5N1 Bird Flu

H5N1 Bird Flu kills nearly every person who contracts it, and it looks like it is learning how to jump from human-to-human. An article in the Guardian reports that the UN official in charge of bird flu response efforts warned that 'a global influenza pandemic is imminent and will kill up to 150 million people.' A World Health Organization said the 'best case scenario' would be 7.4 million deaths globally.
