I've been hearing a lot about the bird flu. What does it do?

Bird flu is a highly contagious disease that can be fatal to humans and other animals. It is caused by a virus that is spread through contact with infected birds or their droppings. The virus can also be transmitted from person to person, but this is rare. Symptoms of bird flu include fever, coughing, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. If you have these symptoms, seek medical care immediately.
