It is the turn of bird flu disease to hit Thailand. Last SaturdayÃ¢â¬â¢s death caused by bird flu in Vietnam has made Thailand's Cabinet approve multi-million dollar emergency plan to deal with possible human-to-human transmissions of bird flu.

"The Cabinet has endorsed the emergency plan to deal with bird flu, because the outbreak in Vietnam was very severe and many strains of the virus were found in poultry," Charal Trinvuthipong, head of the National Avian Influenza Control Center, told reporters.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned the bird flu virus could mutate into a highly contagious human-to-human form that could trigger the next global human flu pandemic, killing up to 50 million people worldwide. It is highly recommended every government in the region act vigilantly to prevent the possible disaster.

It seems like every year there's something new for us to worry about catching or dying from. At the rate we're going, Earth will be void of life in the next few hundred years.
