Swine Flu

I was at the Texas Rangers Baseball game this week and came across three teenagers wearing surgical masks. It was obvious they were doing it as a joke and not concerned over the Swine Flu. I watched a news camera go over to them and asked if they could do an interview. They were very happy about it and when the camera operator turned around, they gave each other high-fives. Yes, it is important for the media to give the general public news about disease but one would think is is greater responsibility of the media not to cause a panic while some teens are out having fun. The game was not sold out, but thousands of people were at the game and the media could have lit the panic fuse.
