When our health authorities and the politicians acting in the name of health and science make proclamations that prove to be wrong and take actions that prove to be erroneous, and they persist, never admitting or explaining their error, that can’t be good for gaining and retaining the public’s trust, which, in turn, won’t be good for public health.

So, when do we get an apology and an explanation from the officials who tried over the summer to close our Catholic schools, Jewish schools, and other private schools, claiming it was not possible to open for in-person instruction safely?
