    Might not be a huge fan of FG, but Leo and the crew are doing a great job.

    He isn't perfect, but he is coming across very well here, a good sign of leadership.

    "this is the calm before the storm"

    That is scary sh1t. We need to listen to this man and do what he's saying. This is going to get very very bad.

    It's an address to the nation but this will do nothing to make people calm. If anything this will make them more worried

    I think he may announce further changes before this speech is done.

    all I want from Leo is honest about how long this is going to go on for, best scientific estimate, so we can plan on that basis

    Good speech from Leo. Why are some disappointed that there’s “nothing new”?? He’s checking in with the nation on our most culturally significant day. It’s important to keep engaged. Not gonna lie I nearly cried when he described the elderly as “our most precious”.
    He’s doing a good job.
