As the replies state, still killing more people than motor vehicles, guns and opioids combined - 700 deaths yesterday. Not to mention long covid (currently 8% of the US population), knock on effects to healthcare, continued pressure on collapsing public education…what a fucking master of understanding systems the numbers wizard is.
Someone flush this motherfucker’s laptop down the toilet, give him a wedgie with his lanyard and put him in the gulag for dorks.
as a disabled person who hasnt left her house two years, thank you for caring comrade op. it is so refreshing to see people on the internet actually give a fuck. i cant even get some leftists to help make protests accessible. i feel so unseen, so often. and this outrage reminds me that there are still decent humans out there.
As a '20 long hauler who has been isolating as well, I second all of this. It has been a real comfort to me that the people on this site have recognized the abdication of covid protections for the crime it is. Too many nominal leftists have completely abandoned the disabled and the vulnerable, and it's painful to watch from the bed I've been stuck in for two plus years.
solidarity to you comrade. i totally feel this. im an organizer and cant go to events or protests because so many "leftists" wont wear a mask. which is ridiculous because it also helps protect identity. i run accessible actions and theory on discord but we should still feel safe to join. are folks even leftists if they dont include disabled people in their liberation? i dont think they are. 😭 😭 [two sobbing emojis]
