Poll: Two-thirds of Americans expect U.S. birds to become infected with avian flu in the next year. Half of those surveyed believe the bird flu will kill them if they contract it. The greatest fear is that it could mutate into a strain that could easily be passed from human to human. The disease has killed 110 people so far, and millions of birds have died from it or been slaughtered in an attempt to prevent its spread in Europe, Asia and Africa. Most Americans surveyed support quarantines, school closings and closing borders to visitors from countries struck by the flu.”]
