It all depends on perspective. Where will most of the 860millions deaths eminate from? Will the most effected areas be in advanced nations?

Good point Intel...chances are that because of health care being better in the western nations, the third world would probably suffer the most. Unfortunately, this will impact everyone in a post pandemic world also.
Just think, when all is said and done and we have buried or burned the dead, what happens to the world? We have all the infastructure remaining on farms, factories and such, but how many will be left to run them? Who's going to farm the fields or run the press machines or deliver the goods to stores?
Theres a lot to ponder in a post pandemic world....

Whatever the death rate it's likely to be a 3 month duration disease. That's 3 months without drivers, shopworkers, etc etc. while they recover, if they do. Snip....

Clinically, there has NEVER been a viral entity that COULD convert to human to human transmission (i.e. had the genetic apparatus minus 1,2 or 3 gene sequences, that were readily available in other viruses, e.g. coryza, the common cold), THAT DID'NT. Think about that. H5N1 only needs a 1 or 2 gene sequence, that is possessed by many of its brothers (e.g. the cold virus) and it can readily "borrow" those; that's what viruses do, they borrow DNA and cellular components from others in order to obtain characteristic that enhance their survival. Forget all of the egghead discussions about probabilities, etc. most of that is from PhDs that suck off the government tit and have a vested interest in herding the sheep.
Take big doses of Vitamin C (e.g. 10+K mg per day in divided doses, as more than 4Kmg in a two hr period will get spilled by the kidneys); several studies that are not popularized in the BigPharma press have shown efficacy specifically with H5N1; tamiflu is also efficacious but the elites will have all of that hoarded as they do now. Its coming!!!
