Episode description
This whole thing is way to politicized. Too many people cheering for a side. The viruses doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care what side you are on. But the people in charge do. Divide and conquer.
[The spirit of party] serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another.
~ George Washington, Farewell Address, 19 September 1796
[The spirit of party] opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.
~ George Washington, Farewell Address, 19 September 1796.
