even with ebola, the fatality rate is 'only' about 75%. Bubonic plague kills about 30%. Still, the flu outbreak of 1918 killed more people than all of WWI. Some of it depends on how healthy you are before you get sick.

start clucking or chirping all the time. Otherwise it could just be regular influenza. To answer your question, masks don't work very well for very long. Don't rub your eyes or nose. Wash your hands all the time. Everyone stay home if they are sick. Eat well, get enough sleep, watch out for clucking.
