I agree with everything you have said.
I would also state that many good people are merely trying to support safety first and always be prepared codes of conduct. I understand that. I still think you need to keep a more level head and only address something for what it is, in light of what always occurs on a yearly basis.
Don’t quote us guidelines, if those guidelines are applied differently every year, than they are being applied today.
Even if this were a real global life-threatening pandemic, the news of it needs to be reported in an non-inflammatory professional way. These teasers making it sound like we’re all going to die so folks tune in a 6:00 and 11:00pm, have got to go.
Thanks Wagglebee.
What is necessary is mainly for people to wash their hands, especially when they are out in public. However, this is something that people should be doing anyway.
One day, there probably will be a global health pandemic and the ONLY way that health officials will be able to fight this is if the public HAS NOT adopted a “boy who cried wolf” mentality. That is the REAL DANGER here, a lot of people will quit taking warnings seriously because every year or so we are told that the world is about to end. The media seems to adore flu pandemics, as far as they are concerned a flu pandemic is just like the Y2K virus WITHOUT an inconvenient expiration date.
