al.com: NewsFlash - CDC chief: Bird flu could become epidemic

Actually, it's already an epidemic. She said that it might become an epidemic among humans. And be as deadly as the 1918 flu, which as you probably know killed more people than World War I.

Something I didn't know is that the flu already has jumped to cats in a form that can be transmitted feline-to-feline. If it can happen once, it can happen twice and mutate into a human-to-human transmittable form.
