Thanks for the link. This was exactly my hypothesis but I wondered if anyone else had some ideas or theories. Some friends and I were talking about this the other day. Years ago you just NEVER had outbreaks like this but you also had food workers covering their hair, etc. My mom told me she was a waitress for a while in the 1950's and they'd inspect your shoes and EVERYTHING. You had to be immaculate.

I see it as our doom and gloom media over hyping everything. There have always been out breaks like this, I think, but the media competition for tragedy compels them to talk about it constantly. Remember the summer of shark attacks? I have since read that there were no more shark attacks that year than we usually have.If we weren't worried about anything we wouldn't pay as much attention to the news.
