I don’t really see evidence that many Freepers have fallen prey to propaganda- don’t see panic or whatever in the posts about it. All I see is the normal FReeper reaction to anything in the news- the desire to know more about it.

It does seem to be overblown and overhyped- and in some countries even more so than here. That itself makes me curious and makes me want to know more. I keep thinking- what is going on that we are we missing?

It is somewhat being between overhyped and realistic right now. This strain was identified long ago as being a potential pandemic strain and has now come to fruition. Models have predicted this possible scenario for several years. If there is a mutation that creates a massive immune cytokine storm in the affected, then Steven King's imagination could not be as real as the truth. IMO it looks like the real deal....just the tip of the spear.
