COVID showed that it occurs when we are a politically fragmented society with sprawling wealth inequality.

COVID didn't break us. It showed us were our weak points are.

We _choose_ what unifies us.

Hmm, that is interesting, but I think about this like, the failure to make the vaccine open source or generally available, the polarization around masks and every COVID measure, and how we are still not rallying around existential problems like climate.

But perhaps this is a United States bias on my part?
