I trust the intelligent people who dedicate their lives to the field of infectious diseases and viruses to make the decision as to whether I should be worried or not.

its so over-hyped. The british media and tabloids are disgusting. For them the bird-flu is filling in the gap untill the next big star (suprise suprise) is found out to have taken drugs.

yeah, what Darren said
the main reason it goes to the media is to get the message out for people to take precautions and to stop poultry from infected countries from spreading elsewhere
I'm more concerned with people carrying mrsa, vre, & visas than the bird-flu...
when the strain mutates, then I'll start to worry
