Is the disease getting out of our control?

I've seen a fair amount of stuff on this. US says that we can expect it to hit within the year. Other experts say that it won't become a pandemic for who knows how long. All I know is that all this talk is probably fueling the sales of Tamiflu...one of the only drugs that comes close to work against avian flu (supposidly).
