RE:"Why do you think it is called BIRD flu? H5N1 flies out of North Korea daily (without border or visa checks)." The longest chicken flight is like 26 feet. What's the vector to the chickens?

i guess you missed my point. the whole scenario that you're proposing--human-to-human transmission--relies on, uh...humans! so if a really virulent human-to-human variant develops in North Korea, it will be stuck there. and it might even be welcomed by North Korea's neighbors (who would like North Korea to disappear), and the survivors (who would like to eat some food). unless you are proposing human-to-duck-to-human-to-human as your main thesis.
