2 You are now infected with What is?, or its real version bird flu, is a poultry virus that has spread to humans in five countries. 50% of those infected have died. this simulation, it has evolved to spread from human to human. How will it affect you? At first you will feel ill and run a temperature. You will get a sore throat and cough and your eyes might become red and itchy. You will become very tired and want to lie around without even bothering to watch the television. After a few days you will ache all over and your chest will hurt when you breathe. Will you survive? You are relying on your immune system to fight the disease. There are no completely effective drugs. 1 At the next break, visit the medical team. 2 You will get viruses like this to infect others with. 3 You will also get an 'infected' badge. Keep it hidden for 1 hour. Then wear it. 4 You will have 1 hour to infect as many people as possible. 5 Only those who are less than1m from you for 5 minutes can be infected. 6 Hand them a virus when your hour is up, and make sure they read it. 7 You can't infect anyone who is already infected. 8 After 4 hours (or the next day) return to the medical team to see if you survive.

3 You survived the virus! Why did you survive? The flu virus invaded your body but your immune system acted very quickly. Some of your white blood cells made antibodies that were just right for this flu, strain H 5 N 1. They attached themselves to and stopped it attacking more of your cells. Other white cells destroyed the invaders. How do you feel now? You are still very tired but the fever is going down so you are not as hot as yesterday. You are still coughing a little but your muscles do not ache like before. Your throat is slightly sore but no longer painful. Will there be a cure? Scientists have snapped into action and are working very hard to develop a vaccine to stop you getting bird flu. There isn't one ready yet. A drug called Tamiflu can be used to make the symptoms less. Scientists are helping to get more of it ready. You survived the virus! Why did you survive?

Your eyes were red and sore and your chest hurt. Each breath was painful. Why didn't your immune system save you? You don't have antibodies to handle a virus that was only found in birds until now.
