A short thread...
1/ Many people have been saying "but I did everything right"
Sadly, this is part of the issue- individuals did what we needed entire communities to do
Now, we are left w/ some feeling like they were screwed by others...

2/ And others feeling like the government is trying to 'control' them or take their 'freedom'
We are failing as a community, bc perhaps this country has been so focused on individualism, we lost sight of what we lost in the process

3/ We were fractured well before #COVID19
And even now, the rhetoric quickly turns to blame
"I masked, why didn't they?"
"I got vaccinated, why didn't they?"
The deeper question to me is why our reflexes as Americans are so self-preserving, not community-preserving?

4/ If anything, #covid19 has been a dangerous reminder of how differently we see things that we should be seeing more similarly
Like how deadly a viral pandemic is to all of us
And how blaming & fighting is actually not the way out, but the way right back into this mess
