There goes my Purell stock: Flu's threat may be tapering off

By GottaLaff

I'm thrilled to pieces that the corporate media perpetuated their fear tactics in order to get viewers. Nothing helps our economy more than building ratings. Too bad the director of the Center for Disease Control is throwing cold water all over them:

The country’s top health officials indicated a cautionary public may be reducing the threat of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, but that a vaccine won’t be available until the fall.

Richard Besser, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Sunday he was "starting to see some encouraging signs" about the disease, although he "wasn’t fully assured" that the influenza strain could not pose a more significant threat. He credited the response from Americans to the disease -- from washing their hands, to staying home when sick -- as helping to stem the strain’s spread.

Keep washing those hands as they resume their over-saturated coverage of Octomom , kidnappings, and devotion to Rushpublic dishonesty already in progress. At least we can keep our hands clean, even if the corporate media doesn't.
