Because Project Fear doesnt care what the article says.
The media will typically run with the bold headline "
Scientists warn of 75,000 deaths" - and that's all people will see.
They wont read the small print, or care thats its an unlikely worst case scenario, and still totally uncertain - fear instilled, job done.

On a separate note :

A vote to pass new Covid measures into law this week is expected to be split, as Boris Johnson faces a rebellion from about 60 Conservative MPs.

But Plan B is expected to become law as Labour is backing the government.

There is likely to be one vote on the new facemask rules.
Another vote on whether a daily negative test result should allow those exposed to a positive case to avoid self-isolation.
And the third on Covid status certification

So if the new measures are not law yet, how can they say they must be followed from last Friday ? What happens if they dont get passed ?
