you might have spoken too soon ...

REPORT: HUMAN-TO-HUMAN BIRD FLU SUSPECTED IN INDONESIA...
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000080&sid=aWESsJvt6CFE&refer=asia

 ``It looks like the same behavior pattern'' of close contact and caretaking
during illness with the bird flu virus, Cheng said. To raise the level of
pandemic alert ``it would have to be transmissible from more casual contact.''

So... 218 confirmed cases, and the article only mentions 2 or 3 known person
to person transmissions, and only one 3-person chain.  My bet's still on
Ebola - http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages/dispages/ebotabl.htm
There's been more outbreaks, and better person-person spread of the virus.
