I’ve worked in governance for a couple of decades, a job where you try to figure out how to get large groups of people to move in one direction. My main criticism of the COVID strategy we’re following is that it’s a laundry list of rules and restrictions. Anybody who works in governance knows that’s a recipe for disaster. The (extensive and complicated) rules and restrictions are the only thing that allows ‘opening up’. People don’t follow rules and restrictions for long.
