I don't have much time to read all of the stuff that site has about the disease, but it sounds pretty bad gathering from what a teacher was telling my class last week. Scientists are extremely worried that the virus will mutate and then will be able to pass from human to human. From what I've heard, the only way to get it presently is if you come in contact with infected meat/blood or if you actually touch a live bird that has the virus. Poor chicken farmer guys in Asia.

Fun fact: Many people have been catching the illness by a common dessert over there: A type of pudding made with duck blood. mMmm...
