I'm not exactly sure how it spreads, but I'm thinking it's just like the common flu, in that it's mainly airborne but not really all that contagious.
Also, building up immunities to viruses is very difficult because they aren't living things (they lack RNA, a basic prerequisite of life) and can't be 'killed', exactly... They have to kinda flush out of your system.
That's something I learned from my Biology teacher... Who knows something about these kinds of things. She thinks it'll be bad. Perhaps it will, since the common flu we have now was once a bird flu itself, and it still kills a shitload of people now.
