   From the Wall Street Journal Avian Flu News Tracker

"Thursday, Feb. 23

2 p.m.: Nearly 60% of Americans are concerned about bird flu, but fewer 

than one-third think it will show up in the U.S. this year, according to a 

new poll by the Harvard School of Public Health. The survey of 1,043 

adults also found that blacks tend to be more worried than whites, and 

that most people would hole up if human outbreaks erupt. About 46% of 

those who eat chicken said they would stop if bird flu hits the U.S. poultry 

industry. If human outbreaks occurred, 75% said they would reduce or 

avoid travel, 71% said they would skip public events and 68% said they 

would stay home and keep their children at home while the outbreak 

lasted."
