1. I think it's part of the "keep everybody scared" plan.
Scared people are comliant people.

2. Just more fearmongering.

3. There is reason for concern...
It is deadlier than most Bird Flu viruses, and it has shown an ability to jump species...albeit not easily. At the very least it is devastating to the well being of many of the worlds poorest for whom poultry is currency.

And, the possibility that it could become easily transmissable among humans cannot be discounted.

I do understand your reaction given the way it is being portrayed in the media, but it should not be discounted as a threat out of hand!
