“Speak the truth”

Barack Obama, yesterday, speaking to U.S. mayors on the challenge of the coronavirus:

“Speak the truth. Speak it clearly. Speak it with compassion. Speak it with empathy for what folks are going through. The biggest mistake any us can make in these situations is to misinform, particularly when we’re requiring people to make sacrifices and take actions that might not be their natural inclination.”

Advice for non-mayors as well.
