It’s OK to admit you were wrong

I’d like to address people who were initially doubting the severity of the virus and were expressing their thoughts openly to everyone. At least some of them must feel ashamed by now.

Well, knowing a few of them myself, I can tell you that it is OK to admit you were wrong.

And not only that — please let the people you were talking to about the insignificance of the situation, know that you have changed your mind and why.

Maybe there are people, families, who are still downplaying the whole thing based on your opinion. You might save lives!

And if you stumble upon this kind of behavior (change of mind) within your network of friends — please encourage it and don’t judge. It is not time for judgment, but for making sure everyone does as much as they can to prevent disaster.

It is not easy to admit you are wrong, especially in a situation like this. I understand that.

But this is not the time to hide behind stubbornness. Admitting you were wrong and explaining why will only make you a more trustworthy person. And you might save lives!
