I have a question in order to compare the USA situation to our own: what kind of statements do the expert panels make, when interviewed by the media or in official communication?
- ehnto 6y agoI don't follow US media all that closely, so I don't know enough to comment sorry. I think maybe you are leading to the thought that they still influence public actions through the media, and I'm sure that's true.
- lbeltrame 6y agoI say this because in my country the communication is very un-empathic and some prominent experts truly lack the skill, causing either denial or terror depending on who gets their message. I'm being told that other countries carry their communication in a much more rational way, but I haven't been able to confirm this (hence the question).
- ehnto 6y agoI can only really speak for Australia, where communication has been fairly consistent and level-headed across the official channels at both a federal and state level of government. Most communication stresses caution, but maintains hope and lays out logical, fact based plans for restrictions that people can understand.
