i think you are being alarmist, just like the media.

if you overhype a situation it often has the opposite effect than what is intended. In this case, the seriousness of the situation isn't really making an impact because the media are going over the top. People just switch off.

Using hypothetical assumptions and 'possible outcomes' to try to get the message across is counter productive.


Testing kits are not unlimited. What more do you expect them to do? If you don't have the resources to test everyone you have to prioritise somehow. Currently it is toward those who are symptomatic and/or have been travelling or been in contact with someone who has.
