Bird Flu

I did a quick google of influenza infection rates earlier this week. I may not be remembering the numbers correctly but I remember the infection rate for school children will be about 30%. I think a study showed about a 19% infection rate for the general populace. So a severe outbreak could affect about 57 million Americans. I also read that the mortality rate for H5N1 is presently about 50%....You do the math, I can't bear to.
