Frankly, it's hard to say. The year before it, we had super gonnerhea scare. Before that the hospital super bacteria scare. Before that, it was the ebola scare. Ever since I'd started paying attention to the news, we have a medical (bacteria/virus/fungi/etc) related scare every few months so I've just learn to ignore it mostly. It seems to come in waves. Now, we seem to be in a medical scare phase with fungi, measles, etc. Invariably this scare will die down and we'll all forget it and a new scare ( asteroids, supervolcanoes, ? ) will take over. Then it'll be climate or AI or social media or maybe north korea or terrorism or whatever is in queue. I've just learned to not care. I'm numb to the incessant fearmongering.
