In March 2020 a pandemic swept across the globe and landed on our shores upending life as we knew it. The country had been in turmoil already from political divisiveness and I thought to myself... well, maybe there's an upside to a global pandemic... maybe it will bring our country together. Little did I know or could I have imagined that it would tear us further apart. I would never have thought that wearing a mask to protect ourselves against a deadly virus would become a political ping-pong ball.
