There are lots of opinions these days about when social distancing can or should be relaxed: whether we like it or not, the only ones that matter need to be rooted in the unavoidable truth of science. What’s making this more difficult than it should be is the fact that most of the people we need to be listening to seem more interested in making speeches than working together to make good decisions. Too many of them seem to have the need to stand up and speak; what we need is for all of them to have the courage to sit down and listen. If they’d put their seemingly unending differences aside in favor of their collective resources and ideas, we’d all be much better served. But the bickering and lack of collaboration is leaving the rest of us confused and at odds about what needs to be done. We all want this to end, but not for it to end badly. In times of crisis, the world needs good leadership, not partisan showmanship. A little bit of Churchillian courage would surely be helpful today.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965): British Statesman, Prime Minister, Author, and Nobel Prize Winner
