This seemed extremely abnormal, yet it also made perfect sense.
The abnormality was that the city-state's leadership hadn't assigned more people to search for the parasites. The logical part was that by not publishing any related reports, they prevented the residents from panicking.
However, for a matter like this, burying their heads in the sand was hardly a viable solution.
