And this is news NOW Because...?
...Maybe the MRSA story didn't freak people out enough.
...Just like the media couldn't freak out enough people about the Bird Flu.

Turn off the frigging TVs. Read the CDC public information sites. They have something that the media lacks: OBJECTIVITY.
You can research just about ANY pathogenic micro-organism, and find at least a handful of cases whereby it caused serious harm or death. I agree; it’s the MSM trying to stir up people into thinking that this is going to be an epidemic. As Rush says, this is the type of story that “sells”.
