They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. The WHO monitors risk and tries to deal with that risk in a pro-active way.
It is the media that takes what the WHO and CDC are doing and try to scare people because it creates ratings and sells papers.
I agree completely.
I hope this one is something the folks here are right in laughing off. As one poster said, though, cry wolf enough times and it doesn't work any more. I'd hate to think that another 1918 could come slinking around while being laughed off as just another conspiracy.
