You are being set up to blame each other for the spread of COVID-19 to distract you from the deliberate failures of governments and corporations who've contributed far more to the pandemic.

Of course we each have an individual responsibility to wear masks, socially distance, etc. In a pandemic, collective action is vital. But ask yourself why 7 of the top 10 outbreak clusters in the US are tied to prisons. 2 of 10 are meatpacking plants.

It's easy to get distracted by shaming porn; every image of individuals crowding or acting irresponsibly is vexing and upsetting to those who continue to sacrifice. But direct your anger at the people who are all but ensuring new outbreaks in the US won't be controlled.

You have to develop policy that accounts for people not following the rules. That's how South Korea has stayed on top of COVID-19. They suppressed a cluster that started from someone visiting *five* *nightclubs* because the government is responsible.

In the US and UK, you're looking at governments steadily abdicating all responsibility, building none of the infrastructure required to manage this crisis over the short and medium-terms. That's what's actually going to get us into trouble.

And this will come full circle. If and when another wave comes, these governments will turn around and say it's *your* fault for not following their instructions, not theirs for failing to develop proper policies. Bear that in mind.
