" Conclusion: If the virus maintains the current fatality rate of 50% and acquires human-to-human transmissibility, it " would be akin to a global Tsunami," write the investigators. The most insidious threat is believed to be transmission through wild and domestic ducks. It is noted that severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was stopped early through case detection and isolation, but influenza is different because it is transmitted early in the course. To carry the tsunami analogy further, the need for planning is illustrated by the hindsight of the rejection by Asian leaders for a proposed tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean in 2003 because it was considered too expensive and the risk too remote."
