The media tends to focus on rare and dramatic events. When a certain disease receives repeated coverage in the press, people tend to focus on it and perceive it as a real threat. This raises concerns regarding how people view their own health

The news media coverage of infectious diseases makes them seem much worse than they really are. For example the Ebola outbreak was made to seem much worse than it was. People feared catching the virus but very few people did. So in conclusion news coverage of infectious diseases just scars us and makes the disease seem like a terrible plague

Explanation:

First conditional statements refer to future events that have a high possibility of occurring. For example, in the sentence, "Glory will cook the food", there is a high possibility to the fact that this event will occur.

Second conditionals are used in sentences where the possibility of the event happening is very low. For example in the statement, "I'd leap for joy if I found a bag full of money in the bush". Even though things like this happen, their chances of happening is quite low.

Identify the meter of the following line, and explain your answer. "Happy thoughts come to those with baked goods and fat cats"

Tpy6a [65]

The line "Happy thoughts come to those with baked goods and fat cats." means that the reasons behind having happy thoughts include baked goods and fat cats. Maybe the person who said this loves cats and cookies, cakes, and pastries.
