Hopefully, the Corona Virus Pandemic (CVP) is fading into our rearview mirror. However, with new variants unfurling, and other countries struggling to address those variants, this is a good time for introspection. As a Nation (our government and our people), collectively we did not respond to the CVP well; in fact, we botched the job. One reason we botched it is that we allowed the CVP to become a toxic, partisan polarizing issue (TPPI). That’s not necessarily an unpredictable outcome.
