Why is the government relying on nudge theory to fight coronavirus?

quote [ With an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 coronavirus cases now present in the UK, the government has eschewed social distancing measures such as closing schools and banning large sporting events. Instead, it has opted for behavioural “nudges”: wash your hands, don’t touch your face, don’t shake hands with others, stay at home if you feel ill, and self-isolate if you have a continuous cough. ]

"Nudge nudge"






This is a tragedy. I suppose that at this point everyone's clear about the likely consequences of such a strategy.

Flowers are carefree
Pandemic has nothing to do with them
But human moods effect their growth


Not intended as a poem, but I thought it was a bit haiku-like.
