Dollarmansteve,

the spanish flu was in 1918, as far as I remember quite a bit less people had cars, and quite a bit less people traveled far distances each day, also I think flying was not really common.

I also doubt it will be worse than the spanish flu, but still, it will be bad once it breaks out. And yeah, most people do not seem to understand that the bird flu itself is not the problem. The problem is that the more people that get in contact with sick animals, the more likely it is that someone that has the normal human flu virus is infected with H5N1 and a mutation comes out of it that is human transferable. It most likely would not be as leathal as H5N1 is, but it would still be bad...
