The article emphasizes the importance of teamwork, especially during crises like a pandemic. It draws analogies between sports and public health, advocating for unity among individuals and societies as they face the threats posed by pathogens. The author critiques former President Trump for not effectively guiding the nation through the pandemic, likening him to a head coach who failed to motivate and unite the team. The article warns of individuals who may cause harm or division, highlighting the need for collective efforts in the face of adversity.
While we belong to various competing teams, such as nations, during a pandemic we should all be on the same team since we are playing a deadly game of humans versus pathogens.
If we fight, bicker and compete against each other, we are hurting the team. If we cooperate, we will help Team Human.
Unfortunately for the world, there will be people who are bad at being team players, and even some who will actively cause harm during the next pandemic.
Trump should have directed the team to victory, inspired the players and done his job properly.
