Some (read: Trump supporters) say we should trust the government (read: the Trump administration) during this crisis, but how can that be possible when we've been lied to and this crisis has been downplayed over and over again?

Imagine if you're about to go skydiving and I'm responsible for packing your chute. As I pack, you notice a cord looks badly frayed. I tell you, "The cord is totally not frayed! They all look like that." Then I tell you, "Don't worry, we'll replace it before you go out." Then you find out we didn't actually replace it, and you look up on the internet that it can easily kill you. Then I say, "I knew it was a problem all along but we have a plan in place to handle that."

Would all of that make you feel less or more afraid of your skydiving experience?
