It's palpably obvious that they're all absolutely shitting themselves. They fucked up and cost tens of thousands of people their lives.
Shitting themselves over what, though?
Over the fact that they have cost tens of thousands of people their lives?
Or
Over the fact that they are going to be noted and remembered, written down and possibly ousted as the people that cost tens of thousands of people their lives?
The thing that hurts most about this is that they don’t see each of those lives as a person, but rather as a damning statistic that might damage their career.
And I still just can’t see how it is that people are still saying he’s doing a good job, the best job in very difficult circumstances, to stop being negative and give him our support. How are those people looking at the situation and able to put that spin on it? Obviously people trying to self-justify their vote and not feel complicit, but at some point surely those people have to admit that this man and his government have thrown lives at this virus for the sake of money?
