The headline at the top of today’s Argus, “Too much ado about the swine flu?” nailed it. Simple answer, YES. Yes, yes, yes!

Network news loves long, drawn out situations like this because it gives them day-after-day of coverage to stir the masses and build panic, all the while stating there’s no cause for alarm.

Overkill accurately describes the news media, not the H1N1 flu strain.
