Throughout the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic in the US, it's often been said 'We're all in this together.'<br />But according to Business Insider, Americans don't feel that's true anymore. And that's because they're not all in it together.<br />Data from the New York Times reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic has slammed blue America and only grazed red America.<br />Counties that Donald Trump won in 2016 have experienced only 21% of the pandemic deaths.<br />However, the cumulative infection rate is twice as high in counties Hillary Clinton won as in counties Trump won.<br />Infection rates are generally higher in cities, and infection and death rates are vastly higher in minority communities.<br />The pandemic is ravaging some places and some people, but an economic disaster is ravaging everywhere and everyone.<br />Even in counties with relatively few COVID-19 cases, restaurants are on life support and movie theaters are silent.<br />The divide happens to break right along political lines.<br />Discussions about precautions Americans should take and when businesses should re-start have become partisan squabbles.
