I've been wondering if this bird flu panic is a repeat of Ford's Swine Flu episode.

Bird Flu does not transmit person-to-person. Nearly all infected humans have been Asian poultry workers.

Unless one of the quadrillions of flu viruses in an infected person undergoes a mutation allowing it to be spread from person-to-person.
