Life is an incurable disease with 100% mortality ;-) You canīt cure this
fear as a doctor: a philosopher would be more suitable.
Last year we had the smallest number of m.m. for the last 10 years, but
had the usual crowd after the first case was on the news. It doesnīt
even need to be meningococal or, at least, bacterial: any meningitis
will do for the media people :(
We distributed hundreds of written information about meningitis trying
to put some sense on the public discussion. Just hope we got there.
