...is the attention the media gets from publishing omnious reports the key factor in the vague information about the possibl e lethality or are there few facts known as of now? Or is it that maybe it isnt that dangerous -then why arnt they saying that ?

they are saying that it is not that bad, according to different people in the medical profesion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8022102.stm

i think also the news organisations knows this, but have a rather "if people turns the tube on to watch more scary pandemic telly, why not go with the flow" mentality going.

also, it is not disinformation, the way the media is spinning this, as there will be no definitely numbers, or cause for real alarm before a couple of weeks have past, in the meanwhile they can go at it from any angle they want to.

The sad fact is that if a news broadcaster ad said something like "it is going to be okay, the medical society says" then the audience would switch over to kbcs-tv`s latest police chase from the chopper point of view.
