~:[CH9 - Day 110]:~ In Who We Trust

It was another day of cooking and cleaning. Life is getting routine and while staying inside is a pain, it also has led to productivity. Honestly, I am doing more than I expected. However, not everyone is in the same groove as I have gotten into, with many because of the worries of what's ahead. I was quite upset at seeing some of the protests going on, as they went against a lot of what we are being asked to do. If it leads to another spike, it honestly means that our time spent at home is a little less meaningful, yet as I thought about it, a lot of the problems stem from the trust we have. More and more people are afraid because we aren't getting a clear message. I feel comfortable with the messages we are getting closer to home as while businesses are suffering, it's but a step that we must take to keep the numbers down. People say, "the numbers aren't as high as predicted" and simply put, it's because we are doing what was asked. The numbers will be somewhat telling later on, but as of now, they're doing their best to figure out what might be the best path for us. However, when we get a mixed message from the top, it leads to less people confident in these bold steps that are being taken. Instead of cooperating, we're getting messages from our leaders saying to LIBERATE places that are being lock down, retweet posts that ask to fire those such as Dr. Fauci, and just tearing down anyone who is against him such as saying I can't work with someone who is capable because of a grudge. As while the other side is not always innocent as well, the lack of working together is what is the biggest issue, because there is no trust. Emmanuel Macron of France stepped up and admitted his faults and took some blame. Piers Morgan pointed that out and talked about how this is not a partisan issue. People are suffering and people are dying. Instead of trying to gloss things over, we're starting to hear things that are bringing greater doubt into the future. Whether our actions are right and whether we are too strict or we ease up too quickly, we'll never know and we don't have to agree with the decisions being made, but maybe it's time we get some truths. I rather hear something like Macron who admits that they need to do more to deal with this crisis (as he stated they weren't prepared) than someone who says we are a 10/10 and the "king of ventilators" after pushing most of the responsibility to fix or secure them to the states. There's been a loss of trust and that's what is leaving us in a state of disarray. Personally, this has been a reminder to myself to make sure that I carry things through as I should such as meeting deadlines or even something simple like cleaning up my room. If I set a goal or make a promise, I either need to get there or face up to it, as I don't want to lose trust, as I am seeing it unfold before me. Luckily though, I am surrounded by people I trust and hope that we all can reflect on ourselves and how we move forward from here. As while we may not always clean like we should, but covering up that fact will only leave dirt that will be unveiled later on.
