Swine Flu is the New Hot Topic?
If you’ve opened up any news pages at all, you’ve no doubt seen headlines all over the place about the Swine Flu, which apparently the WHO (World Health Organisation) is stopping just short of calling a pandemic. It could be just me, but it feels like the media is doing another one of their hype things, where they try to get us all worked up into a frenzy over something that’s not entirely threatening or devastating. Okay, I do realise there have been fatalities in this case, but that’s 0.002% of the population, and total suspected infections are less than ½ of 1%. I wouldn’t mind if they talked about the tragedy of people who have lost loved ones to it, but the media seems to focus on how quickly it’s spreading and how there won’t be a vaccine for a while, etc. Does the media’s tendency to do this bug anyone else, or am I being ridiculous? Go on, be honest…
