We have a new so-called 'virus'. Critical care physician Dr. Pierre Kory has pointed at something distinctly rotten in the state of modern media.
In a matter of days, more than 100,000 articles on Hantavirus bloomed across the planet - sudden, synchronised, and carrying the unmistakable whiff of orchestration.
Hantavirus, ordinarily the epidemiological equivalent of a provincial councillor, was abruptly promoted to front-page royalty. Editors who ignore wars, famine and economic collapse suddenly found themselves united in breathless fascination over a comparatively minor outbreak.
Kory says the coordination is entirely unnatural. Quite. News organisations that can barely coordinate apostrophes somehow achieved military precision in amplifying the same microscopic horror story at once.
It's a succssful blueprint of them creating the virus, amplifying the fear and then selling you the antidote. We've seen it before.
So why is this obscure little rodent-borne bug devouring the global news cycle? Because modern media feeds on anxiety the way cruise passengers feed at midnight buffets - greedily, mechanically, and long after appetite has died.
The outbreak may be minor yet I can see the headlines: “Experts Urge: Stay Home, Get Vaxxed, and Mask Up.” You can almost hear the starting gun for the next Great Toilet Paper Rush.
Stock up on bicarbonate of soda! It worked surprisingly well in the 1918 Spanish 'Flu outbreak.
