As long as the killer bees stay away I'll be able to sleep at night....
And this isnt really news.. the virus has been 'jumping species' the whole time.. there have been plenty of mammals (humans) who have caught H5N1 through contact with infected birds and bird meat. As someone said, this cat probably ate an infected dead bird.
As of yet, the virus has not mutated into a form that is transmitted through the air.. so.. im not worried yet... nor will I be worried... ever. The worst flu pandemics on record (eg spanish flu of 1918 that killed something like 40 million people).. is pretty much as bad as you can get. Given advances in medical technology since 1918 and the global awareness of this disease I would foresee even the worst case scenario being many times less severe than 1918.
