I think I got my mini-list.
Good thing winter's half over so if it's something to worry about in the U.S. it's at least six months away.

My position on this hasn't changed much in the past five months.
The flu is spreading rapidly among birds but not among people. That increases the chances for a successful mutation to enable human to human transmission, so the threat is becoming more probable.
But it still doesn't make it certain, and it doesn't tell us anything about how deadly the human to human transmission will be.
It's a huge unknown, and the range of possibilities extends from small threat to global disaster, and we won't be able to make that determination until it's clearly one or the other.
