Scott admits he is all for the models being unrealistic because they scare people into doing what he, and the model-makers, would like to see the public do. Thing is, some experts say the lockdown is counterproductive and actually led to more cases than there otherwise would have been- because the virus looks to be transmitted via close social contact in confined spaces, not by people going to the beach or park. And we have examples like Japan and Sweden pointing to that possibly being the case.
Agree 100%. Not to mention, what about the next time something comes around and people don't listen because they remember what happened the last time. Don't overhype things- just provide honest information and let people make their own informed decisions.

Using fear to strip people’s rights is wrong.
A useful lie is still a lie.
Forget the, ‘ends justifies the means’ crap.

That’s the thing. At this point the government has learned it can do this and people will allow it. That’s ripe for abuse.
