Well, if journalists could read and think and do their own research, they wouldn't be employed by the mainstream media, I guess.

For something to register on 6 separate air-filters it has to be airborn. For Tularemia to be airborn and widely dispersed it has to be weaponised and released. (It does not survive more than 30 minutes in sunlight.) Tularemia caught by inhalation is known as typhoidal tularemia, and these two references give the death rate of untreated typhoidal tularemia as 30% and 35% respectively. I have also seen a figure of 30%-60% quoted.

I'm not suggesting anyone panic because I could imagine them using a weakened version of the bacteria to do this, but it would be stupid to not check it out if you were there and get sick.
