Quote:
The H5N1 bird flu virus could change into a form able to spread rapidly between humans, scientists have warned.

Researchers have identified five genetic changes that could allow the virus to start a deadly pandemic.

Writing in the journal Science, they say it would be theoretically possible for these changes to occur in nature.

Indeed. It would massively cut global demand for natural resources.
However I suspect the biggest losses in life would be in countries that use less than their fair share of natural resources as they wouldn't be able to throw money at vaccines etc.
