FFS!
Talk about media hype. Bird flu is nothing new, there are outbreaks in the bird population all the time.
There was an outbreak in Norfolk a few years ago but was not deemed news worthy.
Bird flu cannot kill you. The big hype is that the bird flu virus will combine with a human flu virus and create a mutant virus that we will have no immunity to. Then you would have just the same chance of dying as if you contracted normal flu. So unless you are a child, in poor health, or very old, don't worry.
Typical of this country to panic people and go overboard, the rest of the world must laugh at us.
