Having a pregnant wife this has been a little annoying to say the least.

Muddled advice does nothing to allay people’s fears, it increases it.

We’ve had weeks of people dying of “underlying health problems” which is so vague that it covers all medical conditions.

The media (inc.BBC) are the guiltiest parties in over egging the fear pudding. The main evidence being the last year’s news cycle where the main story has gone from “Credit Crunch” to “Recession” to “Depression” to “Swine Flu” to “Expenses” to “Swine Flu”.

Since the Millenium Bug, the media has become addicted to End of the World scenarios.

For pity’s sake – enough already.
