MRSA and the media

Is it time to panic, or media hype?

I will go out on a limb and make another prediction regarding the media’s handling of the CA-MRSA epidemic. After a few weeks and after teevee doctor Sanjay Gupta does a heartstring-tugging hourlong special on the germ and its human impact, the media as a whole will drop this slightly gross and decidedly unsexy story like a purulent potato and move on to the next revolutionary diet pill or celebrity breast implant surgery gone awry. Bank on it.

Update:
The Independent Urologist with his take.
