Bird flu cannot (yet) transfer between humans. Fact.
The chance of a random mutation causing that to happen is minute. Fact.
Bird Flu is not a deadly virus anyway. Fact.
The second it combines (wtf? Since when do viruses "combine"?) with a human flu virus, we have a way to fight it. Fact.

Bird Flu is one of the least pressing worries in my life. Fact.

People make a big deal out of a BIRDS' disease - sure, humans can get infected with it, but it would require quite an effort to do so...

It'll probably be like the case with SARS. It was greatly inflated by the media, and after awhile noone even remembers. In fact, I think it's completely gone by now anyway, and there's no reason why this won't be the case with bird flu also.

actually bird flu is pretty deadly, to kill 45% of the people it infects, it has to be pretty bad.. the DNA of the virus has already mutated a little , just not enough to harm us yet.
