Defending trust

In a crisis like this trust may soon be lost.

As citizens we should treat each other decently, or else we'll exacerbate our situation by involving the courts.

Governments should remember that they can both enable and disable. So far they have only enabled people to learn about their health; some of them did. And when they disable they should remember that it's entirely their choice, whether they create a situation

• where some people are bound to get stabbed in the back,
• where everything is meticulously weighed or
• where chances favour some people to win the lottery.

It is patently false to call it fate, when such a situation befalls one, it is a choice, a choice that has to become a conscious choice.
