In his view, since the 1970s, for the first time since the H5N1 virus, the virus has slate through gene and mutation "effect to-human transmission of the new flu strains, believe that the virus is highly unlikely to become able to make a 10% to 20% of the population is infected, the mortality rate can be as high as 50% to 80% of the highly lethal new flu.
