But how should we conceptualize the intense politicization of the entire covid-19 event?

You said it yourself. The liberal left will let no crisis go to waste. However, the shelter in place and containment orders were the most effective thing we did to slow this virus so we could come up with a treatment and later, a vaccine. That's what separates this virus from the annual flu. With the annual flu, there are known anti-viral meds and vaccines. With annual flu, you have a choice whether to try and protect or treat yourself, or not. With coronavirus, you have no choice. And, for people over 60 and/or people with underlying health conditions, that choice is a BIG issue. And, if you ran the numbers, you might actually discover this definition of "fragile population" includes most of the population.

No, I didn’t say it myself. Political means people are using it for money and power, and that we can be sure the information is false.

As for choice—no, you’re wrong, I do have a choice about vaccines. And I’d say the deep state is facing a much more serious choice and they’d better start thinking real hard about it.
