Has the pandemic affected your political views in any way? If so, how?

The pandemic has not shifted my political views.<strong> I am a public health professional, and have developed my political framework around what is beneficial for the common good.</strong> As a result, I started the pandemic as a strong left leaning democrat and I continue to stay that way. It is so incredibly frustrating to watch leaders make decisions about our health and safety while completely ignoring data and trusted professionals. <strong>I cannot comprehend how someone would support a political party that had demonstrated such a high level of disregard for human life.</strong>
