The use of powderful language like "circuit breakers" and now "fortitude" can't help but give an idea that
a lot of highly educated, people sitting round a conference room table and decide on the branding of the
next set of handouts to the masked plebians hanging out at deserted Hawker centres.

Even in the UK, where they have a common (first language) the governernment has rolled out a new lockdown
message after the ‘stay alert’ slogan was roundly criticised for being ‘too vague’. The British public are now
being advised to ‘Keep our distance, wash our hands, think of others and play our part. All together’.
Justice secretary Robert Buckland said the new instructions help explain the ‘general direction’ behind the
‘stay alert’ slogan, which replaced the original ‘stay at home’ message earlier this month.
