COVID19: More transparent governments

Death lurks around containment.

Take COVID19 head-on: governments and transparency

COVID19: Far too many dead. You should take responsibility, all of us. The French people first (containment is containment!) and all political leaders, the leaders, governments of the world. However, the elected (which are for several years, including that of Coronavirus-COVID1) and each of our governments should face and show great transparency. Up to here, in France, we have indications, instructions, almonds, small steps… But true communication is not present and real decisions are expected.

“Probably… in a few days… some months… perhaps… eventually…”

We often hear: “Perhaps, soon, later…”, especially regarding deadlines, uncontrollable. Or, in all cases, policies, with the strength of their advisers and other consultants, are trying to cope, as best as they can, more are unable to cope. They do not manage the crisis, this is not possible. They do not know.

Prevention and anticipation

The role of governments would be to fulfill their role, a role of clear prevention and frank communication. And that of the peoples is to obey ... Containment, this is the leitmotif, not to end up like confetti or like cons-finished, because of Coronavirus-COVID19.

As for the media, they could leave people on the ground even more, express themselves, share, describe their realities, if they wish. Let someone speak, finally, to those who experience confinement, hear those you never hear, or so unusual, would be topical…

And yet, communicate, they can do!

Or, we expect our heads of state to speak and to express, them too, their dismay or their courage, without wooden tongues. We hope that they describe their actions and that finally, they reveal their thoughts. Because pretending to reassure the inhabitants of a country is not… reassuring. Like everyone, they hide and they are right. And probably (not like all of us), they get tested daily. Comme beaucoup de “puissants”, of “nantis”, who believe they are essential, under cover, and, in the name of the Economy. More, what economy?

Today, comme “before” (before our confinement), keep in mind that nobody is more essential than another. Except maybe those who teach, educate, care, save and cleanse our world. Tribute… But is it worth it?

What are the real values?

Are human beings worth enough to be saved? Not sure, blows the wind; Neither do I, the Sun and the Moon whisper to me; not certain, scream the plant worlds, animal and mineral that surround us. But each of us must believe we are carriers of the virus to face reality. We depend on each other.

Even the stones and the sky cry… Nature can now express itself, it was time: she was choking, to be suffocated

Finally, Nature takes back its rights… That of humans, that formed by three out of four natural elements. L‘air, water, Earth… today purer, cleaner, less dirty(...)s by Men.

Let's confine, we confide

And especially: Protect yourself, protect us, protect it, protect yourself and protect me. Afin de ne pleurer nos Morts sans pouvoir leur dire “Au Revoir”.
