Are rodents more susceptible to contracting Avian Bird Flu than humans?

Is there any credit in thinking this is true? Are we possibly looking at a next bubonic plague? The Dark Ages are re-approaching? How will any society in the industrialized countries deal with the loss of possibly millions of people? Maybe Stephen King wasn't too far off in his novel "The Stand"?

    1) rodants didn't have the plague. the fleas that were on them were a reservoir for the plague.

    2) only birds are succeptible for getting bird flu. our cells do not have the right receptors on their surfaces to allow the virus into the cell. a very specific mutation would have to happen to the virus in order for them to jump to humans and cause the sort of destruction you think is possible, and the media is frightening people into believing.

    please, don't panic. there is nothing to worry about.
