Yes, it's very serious.
Hopefully it doesn't hit here in Texas.

It's been blown way out of proportion. You can't actually catch the H5N1 strain from human contact, only if you've been sniffing infected birds alot, or sniffing their poo.. God knows why you'd want to do that  .

It will get here but, will it mutate and affect humans on a large scale?
A mild form of Avian flu was found in NewJersey yesterday but it wasn't the H5N1 strain.

I have a tough immune system so hopefully I can fight it off if it does mutate.

It has now hit the UK, most people don't care.
They just make jokes: "I think I've caught bird flu, I'm driving like a woman" lol....sorry

It has been found in a dead bird not to far away from me (Norfolk), i'm not really scared for myself, its for the birds that i own as pets as they live outside.
Unless it starts to get caught by human contact then i don't particularly feel scared.

It's killed a couple hundred people in the US ... hardly something to worry about. Just keep your face out of bird crap.
