A bit yes, but that's not the real issue.

The bigger problem here is that it represents a complete misreading of the situation.

The racism and misogyny we're seeing at the poles aren't justifiable, they are terrible, dangerous things, and I am not trying to down play that.

That said, they are a symptom of the problem and not the root cause.

If you never treat the virus, you shouldn't be surprised when the fever doesn't break.
