Covid chaos shatters public faith in govtDo we think we will come out of the current lockdown, better, stronger, together? Public confidence is low that the government will be able to handle the outbreak effectively while trust is almost nil. The Covid-19 hotlines offer a good example. During those five days, Kunlasup Wattanaphon, who was at high risk because he had been in contact with a confirmed case, tried unsuccessfully to receive treatment from hospitals. In a video clip which was widely circulated after his death, Kunlasup said he had breathing difficulties but could not find any hospitals to diagnose him so that he could be admitted.
