"Tolerated again"?? I'm sorry, but the correct response was "You're fired". I could not be more disgusted at this shameful and corrupt conduct. It makes a mockery of the sacrifices emergency workers and their families have made over the past 9 months.

And I just want to add, a government that lacks legitimacy - indeed moral authority - is incapable of governing and leading people in a crisis. No one will sacrifice for them. No one will trust the process. And that political disaster hurts everyone.
Everything about our countries and democracies is at some level imaginary. They work only because we all collectively believe in them. When that belief is compromised, it can quickly fall apart. Corruption is not a side issue, especially in the middle of a disaster.
It is a moral axiom that "leaders eat last". When those in power gorge like pigs on the freedoms and luxuries that they deny others, they are not leaders, but parasites. This moral depravity debases all of society.
