The virus has infected 329 people since 2003, of whom 201 have died,

Thats an impressive fatality rate.

Humans have a lower body temperature than birds and the avian virus finds it difficult to grow in the cooler conditions of the human throat. The mutated virus is better adapted to these cooler conditions, making transmission more likely.

But considring the fact that we are headed for the season when we all like to dash in our front doors, crank the heating up high and sit in comfortable warmth...we're probably all headed to help it infect as many of us as possible.

 

How likely is it though that the averagely healthy person will contract this disease? I'd be interested to see some projections on that figure.

Good enough to bring a twinkle to the eye of any bio-terrorist out there. :(
One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.? ~ Thomas Sowell
