This is what we are doing.
This is why we are doing it.
This is what we want to see from our actions.
This is how long we think it might take.
This is what will be the criteria we use to decide if we achieved our goal or not.
That's called having your shit together. That's what a leader should do. I didn't hear shit from the Ks Gov on that. All I heard was "we pulled the trigger, now we will tell you in a few days what we think we are aiming for"....AGAIN.

Yeah, I was actually saying similar things in March, and I think those 5 things summarize it well.... reminds me, I read a study a while back that said people are more likely to comply when given
any reason, no matter how obvious and unhelpful. For example, someone cutting you in line at the bank* and saying "I'm in a hurry".... or even just "I need to deposit this", versus nothing at all, causes people to be more understanding.
Timelines in this situation do suck... they could say "reevaluate in 2 weeks", even though people will obviously hear what they want to hear and get antsy if you say that for 6 weeks in a row.
Being in IT, it's a living to have a plan without really having a plan... turning "uh, yeah try that" into a beautifully crafted current state/"plan"/made-up-ETA. Granted, my audience isn't a couple million people.

a while back, as I remember the example they used and now don't remember the last time I needed to enter a bank
