Information from the Government
At the start of this we were continually told that for most this is a mild illness requiring no hospital care - the evidence still supports this. Why did the govt stop telling people this and change the rhetoric to it being a "deadly virus" - was this to scare people into compliance with lockdown - the fear and alarm that this caused did more damage to mental health, causing unrequired additional fear and confusion - why did the FM and her govt not stick to medical facts and start creating a climate of fear and worry?
Why the contribution is important
My idea is important as this changed the way that the public perceived the virus - yet for the vast majority they did not need to be controlled by fear and misinformation - we need to know that our politicians are providing truthful updates and not shifting the rhetoric to suit.
