If anything should unite Americans now is utter and universal contempt for the institutions that failed us in navigating this crisis. The government, the media, the opposition, even parts of the medical community. The health of both the people and the economy was treated not as the prime concern but as an opportunity to pursue other agendas. A terrible reckoning is due, but we are too blinded by hatred towards each other to demand it. What a sad, sad epilogue to the American story.
