Trust in our public institutions, like government, health organizations, and even the media, produced what can only be described as a collective fear of a virus, allowing our society to feel compelled to follow the dictates of the ‘experts’, all in the name of ‘saving lives’. 2020 eviscerated our nations economy, as elected officials ordered businesses to close, citizens to stay home, travel to be restricted, mask/face coverings mandated, and freedoms violated. All justified for the ‘public safety’.
