Speaking of dying....

Should I be worried about the Bird Flu? I haven't watched the national news much since Bush has been in Office, so that means I have been "ignant" for quite some time.. I haven't been following this whole bird flu thing, so I'm not sure why I should be so scared. The local news, always a good source for sensational yellow journalism, seems to think that it's inevitable.
Why is the bird flu so dangerous? Why is it different than other flu's? The scary thing is that I watched a documentary a few years abou about the great Influenza outbreak in the 1920's and is was no joke. Bodies were piling up in the streets and being buried in mass graves. Millions died. Should I go steal some Tamaflu from Rite aid?
