Anyway, even if it did transmit directly to people, it could also mutate right out of it, too, couldn't it?
I'd like to clarify this particular issue. Out of all the gadzillions of virii in all the birds/pigs/people, only ONE of the viruses would have to mutant into the direct-transmission form for this flu to begin spreading from person to person. But then ALL of its offspring would need to mutate back into a non-transmittable form.
Baically, it's like the cliche says, it's easier to get into truoble than out of it.
That being said, bird flu is still way down my fear-list.
