of pigs and swans.

The atmosphere is heated. The Hamburg Morgenpost and Bild-Zeitung today unanimously the theme of "swine flu" dragged onto the front pages. Even the color matching - Kept all in bright yellow - suggests: Danger! It is written from the "global epidemic" and the struggle of Margaret Chan (62), the WHO head against the virus. "Swine flu in the middle of Hamburg, the Mopo firmly on target. The shift away from the pork is already preached, at least in the morning on Radio Hamburg. But it should be noted: No pork is now ill with virus, only human. The name is misleading, according to scientists. Who is now assumed that only the media play in the wrong pig Theater: In Cairo, the Government decided to encourage the slaughter of pigs. Ban on imports of pork from Mexico and the United States adopted such as China and Russia. The Chinese are the world's biggest consumers of pork.

The global economic impact of the "novel flu," as the EU Commission rechristened the flu can be enormous. The tourism industry is groaning and also on the exchanges, there is a small earthquake, as investors feared a tightening of Weltrezessin. Oil price down to transition and on government bonds and gold. Philip Faigle from TIME online sees the emerging markets particularly threatened, because in difficult times, investors park their money in safe havens, that is, the developed countries.

This flu season is not a black swan. Likewise, the crash in global financial markets has not been one. This neologism is from Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the author of the book "The Black Swan". Up in Australia, a black swan was discovered, the Europeans have taken the view that there can be only white swans. Everything else was dismissed as humbug. They were wrong.

One can panic and spread this further. Prudence is a fine art that only few and very few journalists and media people master.

Let us remember the cattle disease Bovine Spongiform coverage Enzephalopathie (BSE). Eine große Panik wurde ausgelöst und Rinderfleisch war ein absolutes no-go für immer mehr Menschen. Abgesehen davon, dass Wissenschaftler schon 2006 festgestellt haben, dass die Inkubationszeit beim Menschen bis zu 80 Jahre betragen kann, ist die Stimmung betreffend dieser Krankheit nicht mehr zu erhitzt. Aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn. Diese neue Variante der Creutfeldt-Jakob-Krankheit (vCJD) ist nicht mehr aktuell genug, ebensowenig wie SARS und die ominöse Vogelgrippe.

Es ist mehr als fragwürdig, wie die Medien mit den Gefahren von Seuchen umspringen. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, wie der oben zum Beispiel erwähnte Philip Faigle von Der Zeit, wird ins gleiche Horn geblasen - nämlich das der Panikmache. Louder, faster and above all, Flash has to go. This motto may be collapsing economy, but also, and we must never forget, forcing people into unnecessary existential fears. When asked why should make "the media" that you can hardly give an answer to the right to full Warheitsgehalt. Maybe it's just a simple law of market: the demand often dictates the supply and so should the interested consumer to ask the next time you buy a newspaper or a news magazine that he is concerned with sensationalism or backgrounds. For the former need a couple of entertaining movies: 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later and Doomsday.
