The Official "I told you so!" bird flu thread

So it may or may not happen, some place their poker chips saying it wont, some are cautious and say we should prepare.
What say you??
Given that pandemics have happened and will happen, the H5N1 meets two of the criteria thus far for a pandemic according to the World Health Organization, the director of the WHO said it WILL happen.
So, vote up all you scientist thinkers so we have it on record, you can be a hero of science or just an idiot gambler. Time will only tell

Y2K 'could' have happened too. But it didn't. And ALOT of people made ALOT of money. I know this is not a valid comparison, but I'm just not a doomsdayer I guess. I prepare for power outtages, thats about it.

Generally speaking, it's only a worry for the very young and very old. However, the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1917 struck down people of all ages and more people died from influenza than were killed in WWI. About 35k people die every year from influenza in the US already. Remember, there is a direct correlation between LBM and immune system function so keep pumping teh iron.
