   I have not heard them say it makes it dangerous to step ouside.  I have   
   heard that it is dangerous to hang around flocks of birds, but not many   
   people do that.  At least one person who did has become sick in recent past.   
      
   Rob mentioned how there are ways that Canadian chicken farms are run, and   
   that the USA likely runs them differently.  I am not sure but I suspect he   
   means how many egg farms keep the hens close together in small cages in   
   order to maximize the number of hens in a particular space.   
      
   That, in turn, makes the spread of disease more likely.  Rob will have to   
   confirm, but I suspect in Canada they don't do that which is why they   
   probably don't have as many issues with bird flu.
