Another scary story to send the worldwide population into panic. AIDS, the Ebola Virus, Avian Flu, remember them? They were all rolled out as a potentially massive threat to mankind and the once they were no longer newsworthy they seemed to disappear.

Of course the threat from the diseases I mentioned above are still a major cause for concern, but now this new virus has come to light it appears we are all doomed again, according to the media. Am I just being cynical, or does this smack of journalistic scaremongering?
Naturally this is just my take on the situation, and no doubt I will be lambasted for some of my thoughts (as usual) but hey, feel free to comment.
