How not to handle a bad situation 101

Impending doom, another war looming over our heads, fires in Australia and a new disease that's sending people all over the world in a mass panic. It's safe to say that 2020 (or the new decade if I may add) has not had the most inspiring start. Such bad situations are to be expected and with the media becoming much stronger than ever before, we are now faced with the issues of every nation on the planet. From a messy divorce between Great Britain and the European Union to the Australian Prime Minister making sure that every living being in Australia hates his guts, it's no wonder that politicians and companies spend thousands upon thousands on public relations to ensure that their reputation is preserved.

However, no amount of money can preserve sheer stupidity and downright awful decisions. The general public is a cruel entity and as the spirit of rebelling is alive in everyone of us, it's only natural that we fight for what we believe in. Even if it means being silenced, beaten to a pulp or outright murdered unfortunately, this is only inspires us even more. In fact, one can clearly notice that since Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered, her work has gained her even more notoriety and now, her attempts at unraveling the corruption and crime in the Maltese system have become well-known all around the world.

The same can be said for the Hong Kong protests. What first started as a large-scale protest against the Chinese overlords, has evolved into riots that were previewed to every single user on the internet. So much for the Chinese government trying to silence the protesters...

No disease nor any threats will stop these protesters from fighting for what's right

The internet is probably one of the easiest ways of learning about the crises that are popping off in the world. Combined with the mobile phone which allows you to broadcast what's happening in front of your very eyes. Thus, it' easy to see why it has become so difficult to silence pretty much anything. In a matter of a few days, it became public knowledge that four people in Malta had been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus. There was simply no point in trying to stifle this fact. People would have found out somehow and it would have only caused even more panic.

Nevertheless, only time will tell if the general public will grow more restless with the shortcomings of their leaders and if they will take matters in their own hands.
