They are really whipping up everything they can, IMO. Every little tidbit seems to deserve DAYS of discussion. It's almost like a fad.
To a degree, this may be true. But I think the media is doing us a favor on this - already the CDC is getting out ahead on this one, with a plan that they're acturally communicating to us. Also, we as a people, have GOT to inform ourselves about what we could conceivably face from the terrorists. I believe we must be self responsible to learn what we may be facing, and on this one, I think the media is playing a positive role. Their harping is producing real time results - the CDC and HHS knows they are being held accountable and this fact alone - their not wanting to be caught w/their pants down - works to our benefit.
Hope that that is what is turns out to be, just a fad - but then again, I never look ahead or ever worry/wonder about the future...(say Howlin, have you seen the new Rapid Response Team Coats ??????? I have - and let's just say, when they made them up - they weren't worried about the future - (very much scarcasm here!!!) Anyway...
