Covid19. Why would ANYONE want to be the leader of any country right now?
The heavy burden of responsibility necessary to address the Corona Virus and its widespread ramifications seem overwhelming, in my opinion. No matter who one is, this crisis stands in the face of the best minds and the best intentions to contain it. Leading, guiding, reassuring, protecting, and informing one’s people are only some of the tasks a head of state must perform. As such, not all of the right answers come easily for any person, which is why learned advisors are needed also. The full and final responsibilities still fall in the hands of that one person, the head of state. Regardless of how intelligent, charismatic, compassionate, kindhearted, forward-thinking, respectful, and/or benevolent a head of state is, this crisis makes the job more difficult than any mortal can deliver.
