I've got very few issues with the way CH rabbonim and doctors handled Covid. But if the people aren't following, are they really leading?
How can you lead a community that refuses to be lead? IOW, the issue is not leadership, it's followship. And I believe that stretches far beyond CH. People think if the Rabonim would only issue clear directives, everyone would follow. This has proved wrong time and time again, even unrelated to Covid. How many people are active on this very forum belong to communities in which internet is verbotten?
I know this is stretching way beyond the scope of this thread, but it is DDF after all.
