Something will eventually happen. Like SARS we will have some kind of warning though it's not as if everyone's going to die.. just a lot of people in the shithole places the flu originates in and a lot of hysteria and a few tens of thousands of deaths in the west.
There really should be regulations and fines for "allowing" this sort of shit to happen (at least for the small amount of human involvement). I don't care if its part of your culture to eat raw duck's blood soup.... you eat raw bird blood in a bird flu hotspot and you're putting millions of lives at risk all over the world.. there should be attempted manslaughter charges for this sort of shit. I know it sounds stupid and over the top... and a ridiculous imposition on a bunch of third world countries.. but thats how it's happened in the last bunch of cases and it's how it will happen when everyone dies. It will be one person coming into contact with one infected bird and likely engaging in high risk eating habits. This person's actions will kill millions.
