How Much fear is healthy?

I've been thinking about this all week.

Personally, I think no fear at all is very unhealthy. But that is just me.

Sandman in this article thinks 95% of us will survive a pandemic. And he is a risk communication consultant. Where did he get that figure? Not from any scientist I've been reading.

"Society just can't accept the idea that 50 percent of the population could die. And I think we have to face that possibility," Webster said. "I'm sorry if I'm making people a little frightened, but I feel it's my role."
