Question Author
Headlines 5 minutes ago on BBC News. “England’s deputy chief Medical Officer says it could be another six months before life returns to normal...”
The on-screen headline read “Six more months of restrictions”.
Both of which are distortions of what the woman actually said.
She said IF the public didn’t strictly follow government guidelines, then it COULD be another six months.
But all the intelligent ‘Qualifiers’, the conditional coulds, shoulds, etc, were lost. Maybe not hysteria, but irresponsible nonetheless.
