Whats more deadly - West Nile Virus or Bird Flu?

It depends on what you look at.

West Nile Virus (WNV) has killed more than avian flu. However, the death rate is higher with avian flu (so you are more likely to die of bird flu if you get it, but you are less likely to catch bird flu then WNV).

Also depends on where you live. No bird flu in the US, but lots of WNV.

Bird Flu!

Depends on which one you've got!

If you've got both does it matter.

Both very deadly.

depends if you mean deadly as in killed more people or more deadly per person.
