I totally agree. People everywhere seem to have coalesced into extremes on all sorts of issues - Brexiteers v Remainers in UK: Trumpers v Bideners in USA: Vaccers v Anti-Vaccers everywhere - and tolerance and the middle ground of “let’s just get on with things” seems to have been forgotten. My younger brothers roped us all into doing the Ice Bucket Challenge back in the day as they had teacher who suffered with Motor Neurone Disease (MND as ALS is called in the UK and some other places). It was a fun way to raise some money for research into finding a cure or treatment.

I guess anything can go viral if it gets enough exposure on social media these days. Not sure if it would work at present with all the restrictions on movement and people meeting together, but there are still plenty of good causes and medical charities that need the money as charity donations and fundraising events have largely ceased during the pandemic. The Red Cross / Red Crescent do outstanding international work so maybe something similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge but with a red substance would be popular. Not sure what could be widely used safely - maybe water dyed red or tomato ketchup or soup .....
