If H5N1 starts spreading for person to person, it will be exactly like a new computer virus, it will infect almost everyone on this planet, the problem is, it will take at least 6 months before a vaccine is available for everyone in the United States.

that SARS was airborne or not is still in dispute. Quarantine will still be one of the most effective measures against H5N1 spreading and you won't need vaccine for everyone during a pandemic outbreak even though of course it is preferable.
