You lot complain and complain about people being overly pessimistic. And I agree. But overly pollyannish can [and decidedly IS, I can attest] just as irritating, because it sends a signal that some STILL aren't prepared to face the worst.
Saying 'just lounge around the house a few days, and everything will go back to normal' is just as damaging as saying 'we may never gather in groups of more than 5 again in anyone's lifetime.'
It says that when those 'few days' are up, a lot of people will JUST THEN be coming to grips to something others have been preparing themselves for all this time. And we'll have an ALL NEW wave of panic of 'wait, I thought everyone said!!'
