BUT naivety could be assuming that the "experts" whoever they are maybe have a handle on what to do? Often actions are taken because those in charge have to be seen to be doing something, even if what they are actually doing isn't necessarily changing anything much. It does after all reassure people like yourself.
Lol...I’m reassured by very little with regard to what is going on in relation to all this at the moment, but I would always prefer to follow the advice of experts, in this case scientists and ‘medics’, rather than mealy mouthed politicians.

Clearly there is such a thing as Coronavirus...clearly it spreads relatively ‘effectively’...clearly human gatherings and sociability help that spread...and clearly it’s impact on human beings varies from trivial to terminal...with all due respect none of that is, as you describe, ‘conjecture’...it is, at the risk of sounding like Rats...FACT!
