KidsPost answers kids' questions on the Bird Flu: What happens if the virus starts spreading among people, including here? If the virus changes so that it can pass easily from person to person, through a sneeze or from germs left on a doorknob, your daily routine might change for a while. You would avoid crowded places such as movie theaters and grocery stores, and you might wear a doctor's face mask in public. Some schools might close and offer classes over the Internet so that children could learn at home. People would be told to wash their hands often -- and that's a good idea anyway! This could last a few months, until the outbreak slows down.
