We're so divided over COVID and have done so much damage to our society because we can't accept that we're not fully in control of our lives and deaths.
Underpinning this is the belief that a pandemic is a problem to "fix". It hasn't been "fixed" so it must be someone's fault.

What if we accepted, from the outset, that we were about to experience a serious pandemic? A lot of people would die, a lot would be seriously ill and our lives would be seriously disrupted for several years. We would do our best to battle against this disease with changes...
... in behaviour, vaccines, therapeutics and they would all help. But in the end, a lot of people would die, a lot of people would be seriously ill and our lives would be seriously disrupted.
I wonder what would have happened if that had been the message from the beginning.
