Yes, there's good reason to suspect that in the next decade or two, we will see *some* influenza variant go pandemic. My money is on some strain other than "avian".
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 http://news.google.com/?ncl=http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news%3Fpid%3D10000087%26sid%3DaarqxYXeylxs%26refer%3Dtop_world_news&hl=entime to top off your reserves of ammo and MREs. good luck finding quantities of 7.62x39 (most being sent to Iraq), or Beef Roast, Rib/Chowder, and Enchilada MREs (thanks to Iraq and Katrina).
if buying Wolf steel-cased ammo, remember to stock up on ejectors and extractors too. :)
