Drop the Chalupa! A Reasoned Swine Flu (H1N1) Story
I came across this story from Reuters tonight and what struck me is that it was just reasonable, dispassionate information. It’s not just that there’s a lot of hype over a new flu strain that appears to be, well, just like the flus I’ve had in my life. There’s also a lot of peaks and valleys in how the story is being covered, as if the media can’t figure out whether we should all shelter in place or vacation in Cancun as a sign of solidarity with the Mexican people.
The gist of the story is to lay out the scenarios for where H1N1 could go from here. Written by Reuters’ Health and Science Editor Maggie Fox, it’s what I want as far as information goes.
