We just got back from London after visiting the Tutankhamen exhibition in the Saatchi gallery. One section focused on Howard Carter and his death. He died after a mosquito bite and malaria. A newspaper sensationalised his death by printing a story of the “mummy’s curse”. Total fiction sensationalising a story to sell papers. It was effectively the start of subsequent horror stories and an industry related to them.
The newspaper was The Daily Mail.
Say no more!
The corona virus will spread and vulnerable people will die, as with “normal” flu. It is not some Armageddon creating scenario beloved of film makers and the like. Unfortunately the sensation mongers will cash in. Shame that the official story can’t grab the headlines in a similar way with facts and sensible comment. It reminds me of the fear over MMR vaccinations and the poor reporting of the level of side effects that are actually miniscule.
