In the US we have seen unelected people in previously ignored roles relish the new found attention and power they have received.

Pointless lockdowns with arbitrary milestones that they are able to prescribe, daily zoom briefings where all eyes are on them as they explain “the science”.

For many, this is their 15 minutes of fame. Don’t expect them to give up that power and pseudo-celebrity easily. The attempts to scare and bully people will get more desperate as these people see their time in the spotlight coming to an end.
