So the talk and messaging to people about "if you break lockdown it could kill your granny" was a huge leap?
They've always been clear the rules were to save lives and so the other side of that coin is without sticking to them you were potentially costing lives...
We know people don't often react as well to the "use your common sense" line as opposed to "you must stay at home except for ..." which is exactly why they decided to engage with psychologists to scare people into restrictions (which they now retrospectively say wasn't needed and was a bad thing) and the whole "it could cost lives if you don't" messaging was definitely a part of it.
