The pandemic of Covid is real. It will pass in time and mutate into something else.
In the meantime, beware of those who look to the suffering of the pandemic for personal gain.
The first way to recognise them is that they will operate under the guise of trying to reduce suffering from the pandemic.
The personal gain will come in the time honoured, but entirely dishonourable way of financial gain. Having induced fear into the populace, they offer a solution which is primarily for their own benefit, not for the good of the people.
The more insidious method is those who use the pandemic for an increase in their own power, with a reckless disregard for the good of the citizens. Watch not for what they say or how they act, watch instead for whether their words and actions increase their personal power.
True leaders find themselves in unfortunate circumstances and humbly accept their role and act accordingly. The insidious develop a strut, a cockiness and stop listening to what is best for all.
Sooner or later the fall from grace of the insidious is sharp and steep.
