This was also posted by Reuters this morning stating the WHO that this is "one of the most lethal." http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/24/us-birdflu-china-idUSBRE93L0EF20130424 I have been following this very closely and this flu has proteins that has the potential of adapting to human to human transmission.
