Thank you people. Getting tired of being accused of being alarmist, so it's nice to see independent verification. As if the CDC and all medical experts who know anything about this subject and stated an opinion weren't good enough a basis for my statements. Never mind the fact that I'm quoting and stating the most conservative of estimates. READ about Spanish Influenza, then remember Avian is even more deadly.
Oh, and I have ABSOLUTELY no idea why Spanish Influenza tended to kill healthier victims. People smarter and more educated than I have studied the disease for years, and not answered that question. No other virus I've ever heard of works like that. But there's every reason to believe that this Avian flu (a close genetic relative) would have the same tendancy.
