Every other country in the world acknowledged that the coronavirus was deadly and highly transmissible. Shouldn't we all be asking ourselves why it is that only our country is still divided, after 200k of our own people are dead? Let's get real here. The only reason we're divided over the seriousness of Covid-19 is because we are being led by a president that is telling us 'it's a hoax' and 'it will all suddenly just go away'. Those are lies. If we could have put forth a unified effort to mitigate the infection rates and deaths six months ago, there still would have been many people that died unfortunately back in March and April, but we could have aborted the raging spread of this virus by all doing a concerted effort together to stop the spread and many deaths.
The reason we're divided isn't all political. Many (>45 yrs) do not believe it's that serious. The Spanish Flu killed all ages, back when the population wasn't near as numerous and caused an estimated 50 million deaths. If people were dropping like flies and overwhelming the medical system, then you'd have a bigger reaction.
