I dunno. Arguably, though it may sound weird, it brought people
together IMO.
I don't see that at all. Not like, say, post 9/11. Rather, I
think it was a catalyst for further division. And now we've got
measles making a strong comeback. Thanks for that, Pete!
9/11 was a sudden big shock and yes, it had a strong bonding effect. Covid was different. It seemed to in some cases divide people, but in others, unite them. I think a lot of relationships were either made or broken by people having
to be stuck in the same house together for months. So I'm talking not just about "us as a people" but also on a personal level.
Whether Covid was a "big deal" was debated furiously on this NG, but, it actually *was*.

Can you elaborate on what you mean?
He used to post analyses similar to yours on rst. Reading the
above
question made me ask myself that. Any idea?
