Yuk!! that is bad!!
Fear mongering is everywhere. It seems that the government and others, (especially TV news shows) try to make everything into a crisis that requires our immediate attention or we will suffer horrible consequences. As a result, fewer pay attention to anything they see, hear or read, feeling that it is all contrived for political gain or ratings, etc.
I do know people though, who are so paralyzed with fear about what could happen, they can't get anything done and never enjoy anything at all. Don't tell anyone, but, i watched the All-Star game tonight and enjoyed it. Never once did i consider that i could have been killed by an engine falling off a 747 and crashing through my roof and squishing me like a bug.
I'll restress my roof and work on my preparedness plan, tomorrow.... I promise!
