Protect yourself
Pandemic Avian Influenza
The avian or bird flu caused by influenza virus H5N1 is highly virulent. It affects and is spread by migratory birds. It can be transmitted from birds to other animals, including humans. More than 50% of humans infected have died. The virus continues to evolve and has the potential to become a virus with a transmission from human to human.
Once it reaches that level, all the conditions for a pandemic will be in place. Millions of people will die and the entire planet will be affected because the disease will spread very fast and there will be no vaccine for it initially.
Areas like army barracks, schools and campuses will be the most impacted due to the fact that people are in close contact. As members of Barry University community this relates directly to us.
