The One thing we’ve needed most in this pandemic

“If everyone had worn a mask, then we would be done with this pandemic.”

“If everyone stayed at home, then this would be over.”

“It’s the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Green Party’s fault that this pandemic is still going on.”

These were common statements that people made during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, but none of these statements are true. Sars Cov-2 otherwise which caused the virus we named Covid-19 is to blame for this ongoing pandemic.

It’s time for us to admit that Democrats nor Republicans are not in control of this virus. Nature is in control of this virus.

I know it’s hard for people in the 21st century to grasp this concept but even with all of our advanced technology, human beings cannot control every single aspect of nature including viruses.

This is not an article about the efficacy of masks and the politicization of this virus but I want to make this point very clearly:

What we have needed most in this pandemic is HUMILITY

Our 21st-century hubris and our inability to live in uncertainty have contributed to the anxiety, hostility, and politicization of the response to this pandemic.
