It won't take much more mutating to turn that virus into one that can move from person to person more easily. IF that happens, and history says it can happen, then we will be in some serious trouble. IF the next mutation doesn't happen, we'll be relatively safe and the flu will be under control.

Yes and its not killing anyone much so there's plenty of people wandering about spritzing their germs around. The sort of people who make a virtue of going to work while they are ill.
