Neither am I. And that's because I believe many governments/politicians tried to turn it to their political advantage before they tried to defeat it. But this is true for any politician, any party, in any situation - a virus, protests/rioting/looting, a mass murder... Their first thoughts are always "how can I turn this to my advantage?" rather than "how do I solve this problem?" Unfortunately, this is the core nature of politicians of every flavor, of every stripe, of every political party. And it's probably the biggest reason why things get out of hand so quickly.
