it would be very useful if the various authorities would be more transparent so that people can make more informed decisions based on more reliable data.

i don't want to be talked down to to prevent me from panicking.

i'm not going to mindlessly do what i'm told.

if you present me with nonsense (like the idea that antibodies don't provide immunity), i'm going to criticize it; if it turns out that you told me that because you were trying to obfuscate the truth because you didn't want me to overreact, then that was exceedingly bad governance, because i didn't take you on authority, i ignored you for being absurd.

you should have been honest in the first place.
