WHO: BIRD FLU COULD KILL MILLIONS

That's the opinion of Dr Shigeru Omi, director of the WHO's Western Pacific office, who said that if the current drug-resistant Bird Flu strain afflicting Pacific Rim countries (and spreading) combines with another flu that's moving that way, "there is always potential that this kind of outbreak will result in serious global pandemic, which will involve not just hundreds, but will kill millions of people globally." Well, yeah, but chicken is just so tasty, ya know?
