Unless it can somehow attach itself to the human flu virus (which isn't impossible) this shouldn't be a huge deal.

HANOI, Vietnam - Vietnam on Thursday reported four more suspected human cases of the bird flu that has infected poultry in three Asian countries, while China banned imports of chicken and the World Health Organization warned of an increasingly urgent situation.

It is believed humans have caught the virus by contact with the droppings of sick birds, but so far there has been no evidence it can be spread from person to person.
