<human transmissible bird flu>

How does this spread from Vietnam over a body of water to the Philippines? Or is it something else? That's rather alarming, as seems to suggest this is very widespread among Asian bird populations doesn't it? And if so, this could be a large scale biomass mega-wipeout of bird populations? The question is how infectious (certainly appears deadly) is it in the human to human transmission? How does that work, and is this just "mildly" infectious, and if not how soon will they know?

Anybody who doesn't think this stuff can spread and change the world ought to read Hugh Thomas's "Conquest": Monetzuma, Cortes, and the Fall of Old Mexico". The wipeout in a short time of the native and large Indian populations from smallpox, etc, was immense.
