Well said TACHO , I totally agree. But unfortunately we are living in a (social)media driven world where an absolute majority relies and expects
somebody to tell them what to do and how to behave in preference of doing their own bit of critical thinking and research. And I see that media knows it and absolutely thrives on it! Just look at all those red flashing headlines and dedicated LIVE UPDATES pages everywhere where some random otherwise little known person finally gets his/her 5 minutes of fame yelling the "The End is Nigh". I feel as if it gives them a power trip of kind, so they sensationalise every aspect of information and then feed it to the public to get another high and boost their feeling of self-importance. On BBC, for example, not once have I seen an article with a level-headed analysis of the situation from likes of Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg or similar experts. Just fear-porn and 42 how-to different guides on how to wash your hands properly.
