Here's why conservatives and liberals differ on COVID-19.
"Conservatives might at least in part be less likely to wear masks because they don't feel as threatened by the virus itself,
If they talked about the virus as having a motive, as being a palpable enemy that is seeking to attack humans, says Zane, maybe you get greater buy-in from the start on the part of conservatives."
