The risk and the reason for it is badly stated
If the fear has been around awhile, you can be sure the people will put pressure on to stop EVERYBODY talking about it . When PC is the ruling philosophy, nobody is safe. The truth will set us free, but the price for those who sit too comfortably away from it , is . in their opinion. too high
No leader can stop this imperfect process of making ,gaining and then losing fear and trust . The leaders who play up to it should leave . ( take Vic and NSW playing up to overlast seasons bushfires)
It will be hastened in Andrews case by the child and then the public realisation that his chasing of substance through his own stats collection is misplaced concreteness.
Not even a good epidemiologist should trust the leader to know what it is doing ( when it presumes to on risk questions) A wise lieutenant would insist in help to avoid a corrupting and cloned consensus that the dilittants in charge can often seek from the real experts and ones who know stuff . .
So what will precipitate the loss of panic .who knows? It may not be all good
One good reason for reducing the panic will be the realization .that much advice was not taken in the first place about the risk and how to deal with it ( that includes PM Morrison)
The inevitability of push back ( when the risk is badly stated - shortstated ) must come when those in charge don't know what they are doing and have explained nothing to date ( except driven home the same old fear tactics -- see the list of stats listed elsewhere )
People smell a rat when leaders in crisis are NOT prepared to admit they don't know what they are doing .
Attention seeking is not just what children do ( the person in the story ) its what some leaders are actually good at .Such a leadership style may gain momentum , but has no sustainability .
As the Spanish flu epidemic showed , once people stop talking about a fear, Fear doesn't go awa, y it just becomes PC not to mention it ,
So, just as the fear words were used to effect to START the panic , the absence of fear words will be used to end the fear. Its all to do with using a meredescription.

Why does every one think case numbers mean something?
Presumably when COVID is no longer news ,, it won't be the subject of worry,
Does this preoccupation with simple stats stuff mean it's gone away when numbers go down ?
Do polys think we are stupid--- that they explain nothing and keep using their own versions
or the fear of death facts as their primary message ?
