An optimist and an pessimist walk into a pandemic...

The glass half full question... Is it half full or half empty? There are 2 very different crowds in this question.

The world is the same. There are optimists, and there are pessimists. Neither listen to the others, and they certainly don't listen to those who are in the middle with a comprehension of what is happening on both sides.

But how does this all fit together?
