We hear from both sides now. Some say there is too much publicity given to the flu, while others feel there is too little.
The unhealthy aspect of the too much crowd is that they don't seem to mind people dying. Flu seems to be a risk that ordinary people should meet. If someone dies it is unfortunate that they placed themselves in the vulnerable group. This attituse breeds deep racial and community distrust. There is in the view of some too many people. Within this group are the opportunists that are attracted towards the idea if death of others giving them opportunities. It is sad if such people are your neighbours and relatives. They are apt to tell you not to have a vacine secretly hoping you will join the statistics of the dead. Such opportunism is unfortunately within human nature and can spring to life suddenly! So watch it! Protect the rule of law when the rule of law protects.
The unhealthy aspect of the too little crowd is that they benefit too much in some way from publicity.
Side by side having too much publicity is better than not enough. What we fail to get is accuracy and that is what we do need.
Out of all the words written and spoken some will be more accurate, as when they speak of an age group, leading infection group, or working group at greater risk. It is for these people that we need to have more publicity rather than less.
