walking on a tight rope

Media attention and public concern over avian flu seems to be decreasing even though the threat of human illness from bird flu outbreaks is on the rise. This article highlights how U.S. citizens in particular are not as worried as they used to be about bird flu.

Why is this a problem? Many countries, organizations and companies are urging people to prepare for a pandemic.

This is quite like walking a tight rope. How should governments and organizations best prepare people without scaring them?
