clacke@strypey It's not about trust.
Public health systems happened to be doing the right thing when they ramped up and tried to contain it and people should have gone along with it because it was the right thing to do.
They are now doing the wrong thing downplaying the ongoing strains, the wrong thing ramping down masking etc without the corresponding improvement in e.g. ventilation codes.
They might be doing the right pragmatic thing by easing on mandatory masking rather than antagonize an unreasonable population, but that doesn't mean responsible individuals and organizations can't hold themselves to a higher standard.
