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.

MRSA is definitely the “scare” of the month. I agree it will be lining the birdcage by December. You might be interested in my (non-scary) MRSA update on http://www.everythinghealth.net.
