Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - July 15, 2009: I was wondering if the quantity of the virus with which you get infected may have a difference on the severity of your illness.

China has already reported the second largest human deaths due to bird flu in this year only. So, all these points could be the government's precautionary...
