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.
