A relatively low number of people have died from Avian flu. It is transmitted only from bird to human, not from person to person, unlike the Swine Flu that is a very rapidly spreading virus from person to person with over 57 million cases in the US alone. The Death Rate for swine flu is below that of the seasonal flu. Although the number of cases of Avian flu in humans is low so far, the mortality rate from the H5N1 Avian flu is approximately 50%, it is an extremely deadly virus. Luckily so far the case numbers are still low, especially in the Western Hemisphere.
