Interesting article on how poltical polarization influences response to life-threatening pathogens.  Liberals were less concerned about Ebola in 2013-2014 than Conservatives, and now with Covid-19, the reverse is true.  I guess we were just lucky that Ebola isn't as contagious and never made it around the world.

Anyway, moral seems to be that people are inclined to pick a team and stick with it come hell or high highwater, even going so far as to distort reality.
