The most obvious lack is any type of confidence or certainty about what is going on and how to position oneself in the pandemic effort. Urban Dictionary: keystone cops https://www.urbandictionary.com › define.php?term=keystone cops The term is to be used to criticize a group for its mistakes, particularly if the mistakes happened after a great deal of energy and activity, or if there was a lack of coordination among the members of the group.
