It's higher probability than an asteroid hitting the earth. But the probability is not so high that there is a need to panic the public. Besides, it would probably be best to let the birds around the world get the flu, let it peak as an epidemic, and diminish as is the usual pattern for an epidemic. This should be encouraged before it is easily transmissible. In the mean time let the people work on vaccines and periodicly instruct newly infected areas to stay away from sick birds. The increasing hysteria on the subject seems designed to provide a distraction from Junior's troubles instead of a legitimate use of health resources, and it will lead to the irrational destruction of much wildlife that may prove to be just the kind of stock, immune to the virus, that will be needed to repopulated the birds once the epidemic has peaked.
