I have heard people say they don't understand why Covid became political. The reason is that politicians had to pass laws to grapple with the pandemic, but what kind of laws? That is debatable. For example, I live Los Angeles, California, USA. The politicians in my city passed laws closing beaches and fining those who broke it. Other cities (for whatever reason) didn't pass these laws closing beaches (even left-wing cities). Some people disagreed with this law in Los Angeles. In order to voice their opinion, they had to contact politicians. And at some point, the politicians had to decide when to rescind this law. This is true of other government responses. Different cities, states and countries reacted differently (including left-wing ones). That is ultimately up to the politicians. That is why Covid became political.
