I don't think he's overdoing it, there's so many factors that might influence people to act and to balance them off is pretty tough. Plenty hear the same thing in very different ways.
I get the public service ads and possibly there is some mileage in it, I'm not sure how many people don't know what to do though.
As for pensioners, most that want to carry on as normal will do so regardless of how much information comes their way.
