I can understand governments lying about there being sufficient tests and things are under control.
It gives people a false sense of being safe and they’ll act accordingly.
It’s a fiend you can’t see. If you walk outside the sun is shining, people are shopping, life as usual.
People would act differently if tanks were in the street and F16’s and heavily armed choppers and bombers were flying around.
It’s hard to understand the concept of exponentially (until it’s too little too late).
