ba war,
Look at the links from the Nation and the BBC on this thread. At minimum it will cause problems with the economy and tourism. Last March my company doctor said to me,"Don't visit Thailand!" - I was not too worried as SARS seemed contained in China and Hong Kong.
This time I am concerned. Just a gut feeling I am not a scientist.

This is a very serious issue and they are being facetious !
Yes, it certainly is serious, particularly since it turns out that Heaorge W. Bush is behind the chicken flu conspiracy - he, in facts, started it.
Seriously, though, yes, the chicken flu is semi-serious - but it is being blow out of proportion by the media. As was pointed out, 10 people so far have died of it (I suspect more, though, in China, since the Chinese claim not to have anything) ; SARS has 'killed' 800, and the normal influenza virus (the 'normal' flu) kills roughly 10,000 people every year.
Tobacco kills 400,000 every year in the US alone, and it goes on. Thus, am I worried about eating chicken in Thailand?
No.
I might get worried if I walk around BKK, and suddenly a dying chicken falls into my lap, and with it's last dying breath coughs at me "From hell's depth I spit at thee", and croaks... Maybe.
Apart from that, debating the 'dangers' of the chicken flu is just mindless regurgitation of media paranoia.

Received this from AmCham this morning.
Avian Flu Fact Sheet - January 29, 2004
Received from U.S. Embassy on January 30th, 2004
AVIAN FLU FACT SHEET
US Department of State
January 29, 2004
------------------------
This Fact Sheet alerts Americans to the rapid spread of the H5N1 Avian flu strain across Asia. A number of countries have reported incidences of Avian flu, commonly referred to as bird flu. Thailand and Vietnam have reported several bird-human transmissions of the Avian flu thought to have been caused by individuals' contact with infected poultry populations. Although several deaths from the Avian flu have been reported, there has been no known human-human transmission of the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are concerned about the potential for human-human transmission of this highly pathogenic flu strain.
At this time, CDC and the WHO have not issued any travel alerts or advisories for Avian flu-infected areas. CDC advises travelers to countries in Asia with documented H5N1 outbreaks to avoid poultry farms, contact with animals in live food markets and any surfaces that appear to be contaminated with feces from poultry or other animals. The WHO does not at present conclude that any processed poultry products (whole refrigerated or frozen carcasses and products derived from these) and eggs in or arriving from areas currently experiencing outbreaks of avian influenza H5N1 in poultry pose a risk to public health. The WHO continuously emphasizes the importance of good hygiene practices during handling, including hand washing, prevention of cross-contamination and thorough cooking of poultry products. Americans who are planning travel to a country with an incidence of the virus or who are concerned about the Avian flu are advised to monitor the CDC and the WHO web sites, http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/index.htm and http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/, for the latest information.
