Reply #23: And I will respectfully disagree on the OMG press coverage [View All]

at least CNBC is sticking to just the facts ma'am

This is actually human psychology at work

Between people being scared and scoffing is one way to react to the perceived loss of control, the lack of a news sophisticated consumer, and some (fox is OMG we are all going to die), and the general anti science, vaccines don;'t work crowd, we have an interesting mixture

For god sakes things are getting worst, (spread ratio of this crap)... but that scares people

And any public health action, plane lands in boston for possible patient with flu, is seen as an over reaction... never mind this is classic for a health emergency in-flight
