The report also comments on case mortality rates (which are 70-80% for H5N1)

The most reliable data was from the army camps where case mortality often exceeded 5% and in some instances 10%. British army in India had 9.6% for Caucasians and 21.9% for Indians. In Fiji islands, 14% of the population died in 16 days. In Labrador and Alaska at least 1/3 of the entire population died.

A significant minority, and in some groups a majority of cases died from viral (not bacterial) pneumonia which was so violent that the lungs resembled those of victims of poison gas.
