I have zero faith and cnfidence in them. But this is not about them. It’s about such a report hitting the general public.
Imagine you were in a subway gettting ready to board a train when you first heard about this. The problem is that this went public.
Yep. You’re correct, of course.
I, personally, would have benefited in no way what-so-ever from an alert that caused me to use situational awareness to help promote my own survival in such a situation.
We are all just simple, stupid sheep and must do nothing but panic when there is possible danger coming at us.
Always best to just let our betters do all our thinking and worrying for us.
