Sometimes we need leaders that don't use the pandemic to play politics, too. And yes, crisis brings out the best & worse in a population. On the ABC this morning was a Doctor, a leader in the Arab speaking people of Sydney, who took it upon himself to make an Arabic language video of his good friend seriously ill with covid, and posted on the social media where the arabic speaking people frequent. His friend spoke about covid and how it was important to follow the rules. It was so successful in getting the message out, the Doctor made videos in 8 languages , and for the first time non English speaking people got a clear message about covid, and how to make sure they didn't spread it around. And the person delivering the message was actually in hospital, with tubes hooked up to him helping him breathe. Not an actor .The Good Doctor says those messages resulted in the non English speaking community staying at home, following the message. Good for him.
Another thing we should be careful of is giving credit where it may not be due.
