Why? It is difficult to understand an abstract chart with no values on the x and y indices, and talk of flattening the curve. The government should level with people. Sheltering people from the reality is not a good strategy. They need clear and understandable explanation of the consequences if government advice is not followed. That is not fear mongering.
Perhaps if the government provided an honest explanation of what will happen if people don't follow the guidance behavior might change. Explain to people what dying of ARDs without a ventilator or any medical care is like, and how many people face that unless we massively change our behaviours. Instead of sunny optimism and 'we will win in 12 weeks'.
Anyone with kids knows that it is important to explain the consequences of behaviour. I guess Boris hasn't had much involvement in raising his.
