Major Future Event - Avian Flu Pandemic

The WHO predicts that in the best case scenario, between two and 7.4 million people could die if H5N1 acquires the ability to spread from person to person easily. In the worst case scenario as many as 150 million people could die.

Migratory birds (wild ducks) are natural carriers for the disease. Stay away from places where birds roost as bird droppings can contain the virus.
BTW three dead ducks were found in Romania, casualities of the avian flu. If you do not want to become a dead duck then stay alert.

The H1N1 avian flu is particularly virulent it can kill 90-100& of chicken that get it and has already killed over 100 million poultry. It is believed that the virus will mutate in the next few months into a strain capable of being passed between people.

In other disaster news, the earthquake in Asia has killed thousands of people, this is nothing compared to the number of people who will die when the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts. It is currently bulging and getting ready to blow.
