Here are the FACTS people:

The original original home to the flu virus (not the current "bird flu" strain, but ALL FLU'S) was in migrating waterfowl, like ducks and geese.

Over the years, the virus has mutated - altered its genes - so that it can infect other animals, like pigs, dogs, horses and humans.

The first recorded appearance of the H5N1 virus was on a chicken farm in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1959. It was a relatively mild variety that did little damage at first, but spread to Asia, infected domestic poultry and mutated into a highly lethal form.

H5N1 was detected in domestic geese in southern China in 1996 and then in Hong Kong, where the first reported human fatalities occurred in 1997. Eighteen people were infected and six died, but a mass slaughter of chickens temporarily stamped out the disease.

In 2003, however, H5N1 resurfaced in Hong Kong and South Korea. Since then it has spread to 15 countries in Asia and Eastern Europe. It has sickened more than 120 people and killed 67 of them, a mortality rate of more than 50 percent.

So here we have this KILLER virus that has been around since 1959, with no human fatality till 1997 and now we count the days to our destruction.

120 deaths from the "bird flu" in 3 years, thats 40 per year. Now can anyone tell me how many deaths from the normal flu occur each year?

According to the CDC 36,000.
