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