This is being played WAY down in the media. ... Why is the press not pushing for more??

Don't worry about that. If the press sees a chance to exploit a disease for the fear factor, it will (West Nile virus, for instance).

Very interesting obseravation. You are absolutley correct.

Yet, it seems the level of hype and exploitation is inversely proportional to the possibility that the disease could actually effect average people.
