they should explain these things in layman terms, not everyone would really have the quick wits or the attention span to decipher what these terms mean.

One of the main ways the coronavirus is being spread is through community transmissions. Do you think most people understand what that means?
It depends on what community means.
Is it the anonymous beings that I as an unfulfilled forty-something jobsworth push further back into the train every morning and grant the same esteem I would to a crow in the garbage?
Or is it a society that has grown beyond group-comes-first, and cherishes the not-yet-formally-introduced, too?

No. There should be simple, unambiguous public health campaigns explaining this.
