There are two sorts of people in an emergency, and it kind of sorts the two out into two piles. There's the ones who catastrophise, run in circles, can't come up with a coherent plan, and generally blame everyone else while demanding certainty in inherently uncertain circumstances, and then there are those who look at the situation and make the pragmatic decisions necessary—the ordinary, boring, pragmatic decisions—that mean society can keep functioning in difficult times. It's pretty clear that the people on this side of the House are the latter sort of people.
