The reported mortality rate of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in a human is high; WHO data indicate 60% of cases classified as H5N1 resulted in death. However, there is some evidence the actual mortality rate of avian flu could be much lower, as there may be many people with milder symptoms who do not seek treatment and are not counted.[18][19]
so lets get this right, 100s of thousands of people in shelters, crammed in,
lots of people stressed from loss of home, work, community, friends, family.
Hundreds of thousands of people with immuno suppression for 2 days in the cold.
Millions without power, water, heat, sewer...
Is this the formula for a Massive outbreak of plague?
Oh yeah, 10,000 bodies washing up around japan.
Something about a nuclear reactor which the radiation also causes immunosuppression?
we may have to stop all flights out of japan.
