"So this is a genuine emergency, and fully validates the most severe
prescriptions for resolving it: banning public gatherings, limiting
travel and other means of increasing “social distance” – withdrawing
trust from one another, in other words, at least to that extent. The
impact of an orderly, selective withdrawal of trust of this kind should
not be underestimated: We are in for a tough few months. How much worse,
however, would be the more spontaneous loss of trust that would attend
an uncontrolled outbreak. For all of the other ties between us depend on
it."
