Health scares have a tendency to make people panic faster than, say, a speeding bus in Edsa. The rising dengue cases in various parts of the country, for instance, have given rise to a choking fear among many Filipinos, among them parents whose kids may be going to schools that have already reported some cases of dengue.
Even those who have no such worries are worried, too — just because they hesitate to place their trust on those who assure them that “everything is under control,” that they are “capable of managing the problem.”
If that were the case, why has the number of cases increased rather than decreased since dengue first became a “scare” last year?
