Bird flu is the next Spanish flu. If you read the scientific reports, the magnitude of the threat quickly emerges.

That doesn't stop the media from covering it up to prevent panic, though.

This may make me a terrible, horrible person, but I'm interested to see what a massive bird flu outbreak would do to humanity...

Wikipedians have done a good job of condensing the material published thus far into an easy-to-read format:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_influenza#H5N1


If you want more, I suggest reading medical journals.

The fact remains that the average reporter, who is already much smarter than the average human, is incapable of understanding the threat posed by the virus. Since no scientist thus far has become a public spokesman for panic, the media can't do much more than spout off vague reports of a new deadly virus.
