I prefer to be treated as an adult and given the best assessment of the likely scenario ..... many in the UK have very poor focus on anything outside their interest-bubble ..... talking reality may help get across the severity of the situation ....tho for many I doubt they'll open their eyes and ears until someone they actually know, and are close to, dies.

I'm not quite sure why I bother to reply. I had to leave it for a while or risk to get a bit out of order with the forum rules.

I can assure you that Italians have been given the hard truth from day one! The very first area was very quickly placed under quarantine even with Police blocks in place. Successively other areas were placed in quarantine in an effort to control the spread of the virus. Every add break on TV we are bombarded with publicity to stay at home and take all the well published precautions. Road blocks are in place and this morning my wife was stopped by the local police for a control whilst walking the dog and doing some shopping at the same time.

I can't imagine what hard truths you think we should have been told, unless it was the Boris Johnson hard truth that we should do nothing and let it run its course so that the herd (did I hear you say Baaaaaa!) becomes immune at the cost of loosing 10% of the population.
