We have tempered language because a) we don’t want to scaremonger and b) the word crisis is very powerful and there’s still considerable uncertainty on some issues. What will be the effect in the long term if we use the C Word ? Or if we don’t use it? it feels a very big step
In favour of stronger language. There is good reason to be scared, though not to the point of paralysis.
