The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t only taken lives; it’s divided our country. Neighbors have turned on each other, family members have stopped speaking with one another, and many are left asking how it got to this point? The answers may be found in the small Texas city of San Angelo, Texas. In September 2021, it gained the unwanted distinction of being the fastest-growing city in the state for new COVID-19 cases. It’s also become a battleground for the politics of the pandemic.
