Watch the news and be afraid
May 22nd, 2009 by James
Gotta love the spooky music in this report from Fuji TV exploring the ways in which two flu-infected high school girls may have spread the H1N1 virus to other people:
After showing the range of possible infection, the fact that the girls were wearing masks is mentioned. However, an expert tells us that masks are not very effective at containing powerful coughs. (It is said that the girls did not start coughing until later in the day, so it is doubtful there was much violent coughing on their bus/train rides home.)

That’s really gotta suck for the girls. They have to deal with having the Flu AND becoming Horror film antagonists. I hope they don’t start sounding like the girl from “Ju-On”

seriously, fuck Fuji TV. They have, by a fair margin, the worst news broadcasts of any of the major stations in Japan (and that is saying something, considering my general disdain for most Japanese news coverage in the first place). This example serves to do nothing more than reinforce this fact. They should take their fear-mongering, pointless news items and ridiculous models and puppets they utilize to communicate to their audience and leave the news to people who actually have some clue about journalism.

So what ? I believe it’s even better flu-infected sooner in summer and acquire immune than later in winter for the first time.
