Trust, arrest, rest, trust... is an absurdist response to the heightened level of COVID paranoia combined with xenophobia, islamophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of authoritarianism fuelled by propagandists. At a time when we should be more humane and helpful, we are becoming increasingly insensitive and suspicious of each other due to the overwhelming inflow of misinformation and hate that attempts to target and demonise particular sections of society as the perpetrators behind the corona pandemic.
