Isn't person-to-person transmission incredibly rare? The R value is significantly below 1 for humans. Lots of factory farms will probably have issues, but other countries have had similar outbreaks of H5N1 among livestock and have always had limited human cases.

Once they hit the hog farms, because pigs are very close to us medically, an incredibly infectious human to human variant is just a matter of time.
