Event Details
There is recent evidence that another pandemic could be emerging because of a growing bird flu (Avian Influenza) outbreak that has affected millions of birds, poultry farms and cattle herds in the US. Health officials are concerned as bird-derived viruses caused other human pandemics, including the Spanish flu of 1918 that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide and the 1957 Asian flu that killed 69,800 people in the US. Learn about the symptoms of bird flu, how bird flu spreads and how likely it is to spread to humans.
