And dont forget we had for quite awhile the 9/11 doubters trying to prove conspiracies with laughable 'evidence'.
That would be the equivalent of believing Coronavirus was intentionally released from a lab in China.

They didn’t doubt that 9/11 happened or that people died.

No case counts posted today for FL, so methinks that there is some funny business going on again with counts.

Or, the pandemic is over since there were no cases today???

It was delayed - up now with a new record amount of cases.

The current situation is not a problem with long roots. Something changed dramatically in the last few years, leaving us uniquely unable to deal with the pandemic. We need to be very clear on that point.

I agree wholeheartedly. This became a political sticking point in America in a way that many (not all) other countries mostly avoided. Not to say those grassroots didn't try, but it didn't stick as readily. This is not to say it is strictly politically divided, but that is the core root of how it was able to gain steam.

Historically crisis have been used to bring Americans together and it is only recently that the motivation became to divide. There has been success in picking a side instead of appealing to the middle, unlike we have ever seen before.

The covid crisis has unified countries ( Canada, Australia, New Zealand ) , divided the greatest and most powerful country on earth - USA ) , targeted, abused, assaulted innocent immigrants in the USA . We can be better than this.

It’s important to note that America’s problem is not primarily long-seated differences between states or some national cantankerousness with a long tradition. In 2001 about 5% of Americans had vaccine doubts. By 2015 that was about 12%. In those days, the most prominent anti-Vaxxer was a widely mocked former Playboy model.

The current situation is not a problem with long roots. Something changed dramatically in the last few years, leaving us uniquely unable to deal with the pandemic. We need to be very clear on that point.
Generations of degrading critical thinking/reading comprehension skills in schools made brains of people beyond inadequate for handling the mass open transfer of information we see over the internet today.

Except they cancelled the event to postpone into 2022 cause stupid Delta variants are ruining as fall/winter thing could be EVEN worse.

Once we hit a little above the 3 million mark, which feels only weeks away at this point, roughly 15% of all Floridians will have contracted covid. Insane.
