0. Don't lie to the public. Even though you may think it is helpful in the short run, it is devastating in the long run. All the rest is commentary.

    But it's not that damaging if it's not a trust based institution. When Facebook writes next to their ads "recommended for you", I know that's a lie. But it doesn't bother me that much. When government medical leaders say that wearing a mask is worse for you, unless you go through 6 years of medical training to learn how to properly put on a mask, I ignore almost any future advice from them.
