Is that dangerous? Because our response to Covid seems to be quite dangerous.

If you hide such info, I think you are full of it and lied about it. Lacking trust is dangerous for any public institution. Shutting down whole industries preemptively can be dangerous.

Telling the truth is far less dangerous. Exception may be if it might cause a panic. But the opposite is true right now.

Covid is a serious disease but not a significant threat to people under 60 years. That is a fact, even if you account for all side effects and alleged long covid symptoms, which certainly can happen, but are as rare as vaccine side effects.
