throw caution to the wind

Abundance of caution

This type of caution is typically practiced by institutions and larger private sector organisations seeking to minimise exposure to personal injury or similar legal claims but has during the early part of 2020 increasingly been adopted by individuals seeking to cover up their total panic on realising their previous publicly stated position on a matter of significant risk was riddled with hubris and incoherent bravado.

“...out of an abundance of caution, temperature checks are now being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with the President and Vice President...”

Scott Cawthon

Indie Developer of the Five Nights at Freddy's trilogy. He created the games based on bad reviews of his previous games, critics said to have likened the characters to "creepy animatronics". Cawthon then went into a deep depression for a while, then decided to use this to his advantage, thus, Five Nights at Freddy's was created.

Man, Scott Cawthon is a tricky developer!
