Interesting read. That said, here in the US, I personally hold our president accountable for mutating a serious public health crisis into a red versus blue debate. This foments resentment, amplifies the anti-science biases of the uninformed, and accelerates fear.

Where are the grownups? Not really sure, but they most assuredly are not anywhere near the White House. That is for damn sure.
