It's a when, not an if. My guess its its still hard to transmit via sneezing, but cleaning up after a sick patient who has diarrhea or vomits would be VERY hazardous.

My guess is that there are currently hundreds or thousands of bird flu human cases that are sick or have died (but lack of testing has been so widespread that it will be hard to get a real number until someone starts taking the pandemic seriously and starts testing meningitis, meningococcemia, dengue fever, cholera, and thyphoid cases. In the 1918 flu pandemic, many cases were mis-diagnosed.

The most amazing point is the online publication that just came out a few months ago entitled something like "pandemic influenza, are we ready?". The answer is clearly no, but the misdiagnosed cases were one of the first topics.
