Flu Pandemics: When Will the Next One Strike? Take the Poll!

Although bird flu has dropped off the popular press's radar for quite a while now, cases of H5N1 infection in birds and people keep popping up with distressing regularity. So when do you think the next flu pandemic--whether caused by H5N1 or another subtype--will strike? In the next 5 years? 5 to 10 years? 10 to 50 years? Never? Vote for your favorite answer at right. (One vote per IP address.) I'll take the poll down the first week of August and post the answers then.
