I have never believed in getting my science from the news media. They are notorious for making mistakes and jumping to the wrong conclusions because sensational stories sell. As a senior systems developer I never believed in y2k and, I agree with some of the others here, I will be worried when the CDC and the medical community are. |
What would you define as "worried"? Right now, they seem to be saying it's a major threat. They're never going to panic and run screaming through the streets, because they are professionals.
