Quoted in an article in US News on December 24, Dr. Kim opined that a global bird flu pandemic would result in a considerable death rate, stating, “I really believe we were lucky in 2009 [with the swine flu] because the strain that won out was not particularly lethal,” he says. “Bird flu kills over 60 percent of people that it infects, regardless of health or age. It is a phenomenal killing machine—our only saving grace thus far is the virus has not yet jumped to humans.”"
