All your mind-fucks are belong to us.
Worry: The disease spreads rapidly. Nobody disputes this.
Don't Worry: The rapid spread of the disease gives rise to rumor mongering, finger pointing and conspiracy theories. PFFT. Idiots.
Worry: Post-mortems show black lungs. Hundreds of eye-witness accounts saw low-flying planes spraying unknown substances.
Don't Worry: "The WHO denies this is anything but *ordinary* swine flu...."
Worry: "...but warns that the situation remains critical."
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE WHO -- TAKE THE VACCINE: "This is a virus which *everyone* is susceptible to and we don't know in whom it will cause severe disease and in whom it might just cause mild disease, so *everyone* needs to take a precaution against this disease." - Gregory Hartl, WHO spokesman
Observation: The government response has come under attack -- poor planning, lack of medicine, political posturing.
PERCEPTIVE CITIZEN: "There's one piece of advice for the government: stop confusing the population."
Pfft.
Worry: Meanwhile in Western Ukraine whole hospitals are being converted into emergency wards.
Don't Worry: Authorities say infection rates have stabilized for the moment, despite what the rumor-mongers say. Idiots. And people are behaving as though the threat has receded, hardly anyone is wearing masks.
Worry: But the scope of the problem remains astonishing.
Worry: Officials say that familiarity is breeding complacency.
Worry: And warn that new waves of disease are imminent.
