Some argue that these quakes are normal geological occurrences and not harbingers of doom. They point out that many minor tremors do not lead to catastrophic events, and the current activity does not warrant panic.

The risk lies in underestimating the potential for a major quake after a series of smaller ones.

Local tourism boards have an interest in downplaying seismic risks to maintain visitor numbers.

The pattern of increasing tremors suggests a heightened risk of a significant earthquake in the near future. The question remains whether authorities will be prepared to handle such an event without causing undue panic.

Public opinion is likely to split sharply between those who see imminent danger and those who view current activity as routine. This divide could exacerbate existing tensions over disaster preparedness and government transparency.
