Sadly I knew it would happen: is it happening already?

The headless chicken brigade are apparently beginning to conflate 2012 panic with swine flu panic.

(six questions on Y!A search, so far)

So the question is:

I've lowered my estimate of humanity (average) down a notch, again.

But have I lowered it enough?

(Just wait till the Giant Hadron Collider comes back on line...)

Update:

"the special estimate...."

Oh yes, there are very remarkable postive and honourable exceptions. That is acknowledged.

And some on the other end of the bell-curve from that.

Update 2:

.. and climbing. Th etotal has more than doubled since I asked the question.

    I tend to think it's best to hold at least two estimates of humanity at once. The generic estimate, which should be as low as possible to avoid shock at the foolishness of our fellow homo sapiens sapiens, and the special estimate to account for those few who excel.

    Why is Homeland Security involved in what is essentially a health issue? Nepolitano is a joke. This is the woman responsible for mobile speed cameras in Arizona, the land of Methamphetamine. Not that kind of speed, honey!

    They are creating a problem easier to solve since it barely exists, than the economy. 7 cases make a national emergency? Oh, save us please!!!!

    pffft.

    Remember the "SARS outbreak"? How many people died? Less than 1,000. The world overreacts to disease so badly it makes me want to facepalm.
