More could die next (even though the majority, if not all, of those deaths were triggered by undercover people hired by Mubarak to provoke the protesters). I've also been seeing worry in the media about negative predictions on how their new government could turn out. They've brought up the idea that anti-western groups could end up controlling the country, or power could just go back to people like Mubarak. Personally, though, I think this is a good thing, and it has triggered other mass protests all along the Middle East against other oppressive governments. So, maybe this is a way for democracy to actually reach that area? I certainly hope so.
