An example:

"So promoting hysteria over this virus, when Americans won't even take basic precautions against the most serious and threatening virus circulating currently is hardly the most responsible protection message."

The poster was talking about the flu being the most serious and threatening virus currently circulating.

Another comment made to me:

"So is an actual outbreak of flu in your own country less important

than an outbreak in another country that has killed fewer people?"

And another :

"No problem where I live,

DU hysteria is always fun."
