I can't disagree with withholding info on the severity to prevent panic. If people realized how bad this could be for them personally, there's a very large risk of society collapsing.

But if the reality is actually bad, then the panic will come anyway, and if it's pushed to the last minute instead of allowing for preparations beforehand, then we're talking about unnecessary deaths. If we just keep pretending everything is fine when it's not, then that will collapse society.

Being informed and prepared is way more useful to society's longevity than making sure people don't get scared

Panic delayed, saves lives. People are already beginning to stock up on extra supplies, and the longer that can continue relatively normally, the better, imo.

Panic delayed, saves lives.

Not if it just causes greater panic later!

I agree stocking up and things going normally is good. I just don't think a large enough percent of people are stocking up on supplies early enough, and that will create more intense shortages later, which will potentially cause deaths.

Even if it causes more panic and death later, although there would be optimal parameters for all factors in this calculation. IMO, an early mass panic that happened before a certain level of preparations began could cripple society to a degree that wouldn't happen 'later', and cause the greatest number of deaths.

For every month that mass panic is delayed, more preparations by supply chains and companies of all types can be made to increasingly mitigate the damage. How much they'll succeed is a question, but their survival in the coming 'economy' will be in the balance too.

It's going to be a historic market tomorrow.

appropriate panic, delayed, kills.

That too.
