I'm not sure how one would prepare for it - it's not like you can make a Bird Flu Preparedness kit, like you would for Earthquakes or other natural disasters.

I also think, Bird Flu may be a big distractor - Viruses mutate and speread in a number of ways. The thing that will get us is the one beneath the radar. Just think about AIDS, how long it took to even figure out what was going on, how many people died before anyone knew what it was, how to diagnose it, or even treat it. Heck, how many people are still dying in Africa.
