Has the thought ever crossed your mind that you might have been ruled by a government getting every opportunity to fracture the relationship with the citizens? Me neither. Not until now.

The city I grew up in had been smashed.

I do not remember since when we'd been having a dreary and oppressive sense of being suffocated by tear gas. Nothing ever had been tried to restore the order and trust - except you count closing things. The government closed train and traffic service. Next, they closed their eyes. And then ears.

That's smart, and you'd be fine … if you're kept in the dark. Unfortunately, the government have closed almost everything except the border checkpoints. When a deadly coronavirus is circulating in Wuhan, our government closes everything - ears and eyes included - except complete closing of traffic from China to minimize the risk of spreading coronavirus. 

One might think that a government should work endlessly to safeguard the citizens' rights, rights that belong to them, rights to live, rights to live without fear. But not here. Not even when the number of confirmed coronavirus cases has gone up more then tenfold in a week. Not even when thousands of medical workers went on strike in an attempt to force the border closing. 

To this day I have no idea how all these could have happened to us.

Trust in one's government, after all, is the worst to lose, is it not?
