We're not dead yet

Wesley Pruden of the Washington Times criticizes the media, WHO and a host of others he blames for a "Pandemic of Panic."

Here's a sample:

We haven't seen a panic quite like this one since the last one. SARS was once thought to be the ultimate panic, though the longest running panic was the AIDS scare, when big media set out to convince us that "now we are all at risk." SARS was never a threat in the United States, and worth the P-word only in China and even there a risk confined mostly to people who sleep with their chickens. You can step in all manner of unpleasant things in a chicken house.
