The problem with the "news" covering this is they are going to do the same thing they do with hurricanes.
They will hype it in such a way that a serious threat becomes a joke and ignored by those that see the topic being treated as clickbait.
- DanielStraight 10y agoYou know what... I downvoted you, but I think I misunderstood. Are you saying that Zika and hurricanes are not really a big deal but are made to seem so by the press... or that they are a big deal and the press poisons people against properly responding?
- gkya 10y agoI believe the second one is his point. But sometimes for some events the first part is correct too, not in this case though.
- ck2 10y agoThat the press poisons people by excessive and irresponsible overreaction. They are definitely dangers but instead of calm, logical, limited presentation of the problem, the press goes insane and turn people off to the issue.
