Does anyone else think scientific jargon is just too much?

Man is it a suffering to read through walls of scientific jargon and page filler, when did the sciences become a weird political arena?

I have to say i'm becoming more and more concerned by choice and use of such language here in the UK.

When this Coronavirus thing kicked off it was all (presumably) facts and figures.
Supposedly well qualified medical figures appearing on screen nightly, advising on what was going on and why.

However as this 'event' has gone on more and more obscure people and 'specific medical specialisms' seem to have come to the fore while the government issues yet more and more questionable advice on what the public should do today.

Hasn't helped that this 'advice' often contradicts previous 'advice' given just days earlier.

.....but don't get too close to each other !
[quote]If you're old. Stay home !....but we're considering re-opening schools ![/quote]

So people complied....and then you get somebody come forward, shocked that folk are still using busses; trains and Tube in order to actually GET THERE ! and consequently either picking the virus up or even spreading it as a consequence !

I think the whole thing has gone from [quote]scary as Hell ![/quote] to [quote]This is inevitable and you need to start realizing you're likely to get it ![/quote] in just a few short weeks and neither medical profession nor political profession has made the slightest appology.

THAT is both worrying and angering many.

Wow, this is actually the first time I'm hearing something like this in a week.

I don't know if I fully buy into this myself, but someone I know was convinced that the way the Covid 19 ordeal has gone down, at least in America, has not served to actually diminish the virus as significantly as the apparent urgency of words used by government officials and news organizations. The biggest 'diminishing' occurring to smaller businesses and the typical American individual, causing people to become further entrenched in some 'ploy.' Which I don't fully know what they mean in that regard, but I would assume it's regarding the capitalist ruling class, etc.

But I don't think I see that clearly from events yet, so I'm still skeptical of that skepticism.
