Who will be most at risk from Avian Flu? Is it true that Avian Flu will hit young healthy adults the hardest?
Most cases have occurred in previously healthy children and young adults and resulted from direct or close contact with H5N1-infected poultry or their feces. In general, H5N1 remains a rare disease in people. The H5N1 virus does not infect humans easily, and if a person becomes infected it is very difficult for the virus to spread to another person.
