well , it didn't explain anything it was just a collection of all the negative things "concerned" entities were saying about this law. Also now after a year has passed and literally nothing they've been afraid of happened it would be nice to start apologizing with the same amount of media coverage.

She is basically saying that DICTATORSHIP is OK for a ''SHORT PERIODE'' of time… = ''short periode of time'' means ''as long as corona is a danger'', which again means that the Democrasy as we know it today will eventually go over to DICTATORSHIP –> New World Order –> WAKE UP!
