"Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America" (8 p.m., ABC): "Fatal Contact" dramatizes a deadly outbreak from its origins in a Hong Kong market through mutation into a virus transmitted by humans around the world. The film opens with an American businessman huddling with his Asian manufacturers: 11 meetings in three countries in six days. But before he returns home to Virginia, the Chinese government announces that a new strain of the bird flu virus was discovered in a local marketplace. More than 1.2 million infected birds are killed in an attempt to eradicate this strain. But it's too late. The H5N1 virus has mutated into a version that can spread from human to human across races, nationalities, genders and ages. All too soon, American cities are in quarantine, hospitals are overwhelmed, and the National Guard is being deployed to restore order. Stars include Joely Richardson, Stacy Keach and Ann Cusack.
