At least don't let a good crisis go to waste, right. We might never make it out of covid but we should try to get lockdowns going again in other ways. Something like this is a perfect example. Lock down and stay safe. Shelter in place. Save the planet.

Officials who told everyone hand washing was more effective than wearing masks.

Yet this is a clear demonstration that SOMETIMES the authority is definitely NOT right.

> No, this doesn't apply to every other situation involving officials and emergencies and the public.
Who said that? Me? Stop virtue signaling and politicizing disasters, that's how people die. Drawing a line in the sand only urges people to take sides and make dangerous and extreme choices.
When bad shit happens, keep calm, use some common sense and think ahead, work as a community, that's all.
Doing what you want, thinking you're the exception, you're the main character, doesn't work for the greater good.
That's a huge part of why we're still in a pandemic. You-Do-You doesn't apply to public health.
