I do not believe that the COVID-19 virus is political. It is real, kills and severely damages people, regardless of their political persuasion. The POLITICAL issue revolves around the poor preparedness, laggard response, denial of severity, belittlement of expert advice, mismanagement of resources, avoidance of responsibility, promotion of quackery, selfishness, stupidity, "owning the libs", I can go on and on. Why have other countries been able to manage their outbreaks whereas we are struggling? Why are we the epicenter for this outbreak? Why are we pityed around the world, the country that did so much to address and reduce epidemics and disease world-wide are at the mercy of an outbreak and not capable of bringing it under control, and then refusing international help and cooperation by withdrawing from the WHO.
You are right on one thing, after Nov 4 (actually Jan 20), it WILL be different. Until then, we have to suffer from incompetence in-extremis.

Companies are political, to the point that I have switched banks, stopped eating at certain places, and I want to dump my Cable provider (remember the thread on Roku?).
Stop watching and believing the fake news. They are not your friends. They lie to you and are biased to the max.
He is right thou. The story will change later this year/next year depending on what, or should I say who happens.
If you don't believe things aren't political, just look at this thread. We are a bunch of nobodies who took a thread on an unknown forum duscussing the virus and made it political.
What do you think happens with people some power discusses it (news media)?
