I keep going back to that May 2020 NYT headline. 100K lives lost was “an incalculable loss.” Since then, we’re learning that COVID has dangerous long-term consequences too. But today, with nearly 11x that 100K figure, it’s barely news that thousands continue to die every week.

Media outlets should be covering the U.S. pandemic response with the same scrutiny with which they cover China’s.

Just because it is not possible to eliminate the hazard should not imply there is no responsibility to mitigate to some reasonable standard; ideally in a way that minimizes requests on individuals, but also takes all steps needed to ensure the hazard is sufficiently mitigated.

It would be great if any of the discussions about liberties and rights included consideration of a potential right to workplaces, schools and public spaces that are generally free from serious hazards. Covid is not the flu and in retrospect we never took the flu seriously enough.

In addition to layered protections, nasal vaccines that reduce transmission & more treatments for #LongCOVID would transform the pandemic. We need to invest in them! Instead, leaders are impeding the development of better solutions by prematurely acting like the pandemic is over.

Most of the West have chosen to do virtually nothing about high levels of death & chronic illness, & are locking high risk & vulnerable people out of society. There’s another way: Layers. Masks PLUS indoor air cleaning PLUS vaccines TOGETHER produce the most equitable outcomes.

Oh you hate lockdowns? How do you think disabled and medically vulnerable people in the U.S. have felt for the past nearly three years

Love how the same people bashing lockdowns are the ones ensuring disabled and medically vulnerable ppl stay locked down and completely shut out of public life

Western leaders want to gaslight you into believing otherwise, but infinite lockdowns and doing virtually nothing about high levels of death and chronic illness are not the only COVID policy choices available.

@JoyAndDefiance

if China can’t keep COVID under control, that’s a tragedy and not in fact a vindication of Western ruling classes’ decision to embrace the death & disablement of millions of people for the sake of short-term profits, as the media those ruling classes own would have you believe

A disturbing lesson of covid is that ultimately there is little political reward for saving hundreds of thousands of mostly disadvantaged and vulnerable lives and little political cost for letting hundreds of thousands of mostly disadvantaged and vulnerable people needlessly die
