That's just the gambler's fallacy chaos. It doesn't matter how many times you toss a coin, if you get five heads in a row the likelihood of a tail on the sixth toss is still only 50%.
There is evidence that a flu pandemic occurs on average once every 30 years, but even if we go without one for 50, 75 or 100 years, the chance of one happening this year is still only 1 in 30.
To be a little more blunt: your statements that we are "way overdue" and "it is a fact one will occur very soon" are a pile of dingo's kidneys.
