The 2004_H5N1 virus was barely overhyped by the media because that was a drug resistant strain, if it had mutated to humans (not that difficult for it to have done), it would have killed the majority of people who got it. Fortunately it did not mutate to be respratory, and jump from human to human, but there was very little we could do for the few people who got it because of its drug resistance.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
