Am I going to have to eat some crow about my views on the Swine Flu? I don't think so. It is a very serious illness with truly awful potential. But my problem was with the sensationalising of the illness creating panic by news media. I saw people, perfectly rational and life loving individuals, locking themselves away from the world with the first reports of this flu. Is there now a more balanced, informative reporting of the disease and it's treatment. Hmmm, perhaps. I think the media have been told to pull back on their banner headlines of plague and step up to their social responsibilities of keeping us lot, the sniffling masses, informed with practical ways to treat oneself if you are unfortunate enough to get the bug. Can we stop it? No. Are we all going to get it? No. But I believe it is going to touch all our lives in some form. C'mon folks. We have never in the history of mankind been able to monitor and treat and inform so many individuals.Lets see it done without the hyper dramatics of the next Hollywood disaster movie...
