I don't know how other Americans feel but it's also a real mind**** in terms of what reality is. We've politicized COVID, and I feel like I'm on the right side of history here by wearing a mask, and not calling it a hoax. And then I think "well is that just because you're a left-wing lunatic?"
What I can't wrap my head around is the 150k+ deaths continutally increasing in tandem with people claiming it's a hoax. I saw something last night that the Miami school system will only close if they have 25% of their students infected.
America has always felt like 6 countries to me. But this has really hammered it home. It continues to feel like the Southeast would rather die horribly than feel like they couldn't do something, and here in the Northeast when the government shuts down bars on St. Patricks Day we applaud.
