Because the common influenza has never had as much attention as Ebola, you could say that the press cares more about ratings than they do about "lesser" truths.
So far 2 people in the U.S. have died from ebola, and the 5 people in total that have gotten sick were doctors and nurses that were near the virus, so why is it such a big deal in the U.S?
ebola is a scary thing to us, thats why its such a popular topic, other things like aids and other important ilnesses are way worse and provide a much higher death toll but people overlook that because its been around forever
It's scary to see the Ebola death toll rising. And to thing that this virus was in the U.S and is spreading everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIn 2010, 53,826 people died from the flu but the press was not all over that. Why?
