The ignorant media is blowing this thing all out of proportion. A
MRSA infection is serious, needs to be properly diagnosed and treated.
Most are treated with the most powerful antibiotics intravenously,
usually admitted to the hospital for treatment.
I personally don't think they are blowing it out of proportion - at least
around here. What I have seen is very informative and is stating how
serious it is, what precautions to take, what to look for, etc. Hasn't
there been an "outbreak" on a college campus or two and even death
recently? I don't believe that ignorance is bliss in these MRSA
situations. A child at a local high school is in the hospital with it as
well so there's been a good bit of local coverage about it recently.
