School reopens Monday and there were 95,000 cases of kids getting covid just last week. The neoliberal ghouls are pretending everything is fine and kids can be 0 feet from eachother and making testing less accessible.
Meanwhile I have very elderly coworkers who will absolutely die if they get COVID and an electrical system at my janky ass school that is too shitty to run air purifiers without blowing a fuse.
My kids will get sick, my colleauges will get sick and I will get sick and infect my partner all because we apparently needed to have a fucking rager for the 4th of July for the economy to not shit out its lungs.
Fuck Amerika
it's legit fucking insane that people in the richest country in the world are still overwhelmingly using dogshit cloth masks instead of n95s or equivalents. i'm in :brazil-cool: and n95 (and equivalent) masks are somewhat accessible and there's been a big push from civil society trying to get people to wear them.
Here in :kkkanada: some universities were testing some random brands sold in real stores for effectiveness, and because we have very little consumer protection,
Many n95 masks didn't actually meet spec.
I think authorities know we don't have mask production capacity, so they prioritized having enough n95 masks for construction purposes.
