Re: Coronavirus
The average person sits somewhere in the middle - they want restrictions to ease but not at all costs. The Telegraph making the observation is - without irony - stoking the culture war. Presenting the reality as binary “freedom” versus “terror”. Misrepresenting restrictions as “lockdown”.
However it’s a tried and tested strategy to divide people into two uncompromising camps, allowing Government incompetence to go unchecked. People blame other people for the impact on health (the covid deniers) and the economy (the rationally risk averse who spend less against a backdrop of a public health crisis).
