This story discusses the excessive coverage of the Swine Flu, which has been rampaging the news for the past few days. The sheer magnitude of overwhelming coverage has evoked a sense of panic in the nation, which Kurtz believes that reassurance should be invested into stories as well. He provides supporting evidence that no one has actually died from this, and the coverage is 10x bigger than the Salmonella scare but hasn't been lethal yet. This is a well-written piece with an insightful opposition to all the attention paid to this epidemic, which it isn't necessary needs to cause this much panic.
