According to many news reports, avian flu affects only the deeper parts of the lungs, the avioli.
This fact confirms my opinion that avian flu will not become an epidemic, due to the same reason I gave before:
One would have to be intimate with a person suffering avian flu, to the point of ingesting her sputum and breathing the same air in which she coughed or sneezed.
Even then, one would have to be immunosuppressed by another disease and/or stressed by fatigue.
Therefore the avian flu scare is just rumors until it changes and affects the nose and upper throat.
Compared to SARS, avian influenza is a pussy-cat.
Even swine influenza is more deadly than chicken for Easter.
Though I will advise fish out of respect for Jesus. ;)
