Yup. The media routinely tell us 'X people are infected' or 'X people have died' but they almost always neglect to add '...out of Y population'. Although I guess even quoting the population figure would fail to quell the panic when the gut is being bombarded by images telling a more frightening story.

Sure this could turn into a major catastrophe, but lots of things could happen. Telling us something could happen tells us nothing.
