Will the avian influenza virus (bird flu) mutate by changing its genetic code and emerge as a new and deadly flu that can spread from human to human? Will the United States be ready for this, or will it be another disaster like Katrina? Some predict that 50 percent of the population might die. Will our doctors and hospitals be prepared for millions of sick people?
