Just how fearful and scared should I be about the bird flu, especially in America?


I tend to be a worrier, but with bird flu making its way to the US, and with all the coverage by the stupid media (who always try and get people scared over everything), just how fearful should I be? I don't get ill often (colds or flu), so do I have to legitimately fear dying from this disease in the event that I contracted this disease?

right now, you have very little to fear. the avian flu rarely infects humans and even in the rare instances that it does, it can not be transmitted from human to human. however, the virus that is currently infecting birds (H5N1) can also infect pigs and while in the pigs it can transform into a strain that can infect humans (do to surface protein affinity--very long story). that's when you need to worry. but it hasn't happened yet.no worries, its all media
So what are you going to do. Run ecreaming everytime a bird flys over your head?

You can't live your life in fear. Hell, if you breath the air you can get cancer anymore...so should you not breath??
You should be as afraid as the media wants you to be.
I am worried, but if I'm going to die, it might as well be something trendy like bird flu.
I agree with aslongasitrocks.
