I& #39;m going to link a cnn story about Hart Island and the mass burials of people who have died from corona virus
Take cover if you need to

Here is the story https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/10/us/new-york-hart-island-burials/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/1...
My questions
"Only people who have not been claimed by relatives or a loved will be buried there, Goldstein highlighted."
With poor people unable to pay bills, like cell phones, with people separated from each other, how many people will even know their loved one was sick?

I don& #39;t live in NYC, I don& #39;t work at a morgue, I don& #39;t know how this stuff works
But I have been taken to a hospital wearing nothing but a towel, delirious with pain, unable to contact anyone
How are they determining "unclaimed" exactly?

I have been homeless, cut off or out of contact with my family, known only by a chosen name
If I had died while I was a survival sex worker in 2016, the people I associated with would have known me by a single name which was not my legal name
How would anyone have found me?

Corona virus is providing our racist white supremacist ruling class a golden opportunity to disappear poor, sick, disabled people, especially black people
This is genocide. This is mass murder.
Deaths in the US from just corona, THAT WE KNOW OF, are around 16,700
In St Louis, ALL the corona deaths are black people

Here& #39;s a story out of Detroit https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/coronavirus-exposes-deadly-impact-of-poverty-racial-disparities-in-metro-detroit/Content?oid=24281035&utm_source=featurefollow&utm_medium=home&utm_campaign=hpfeatures&utm_content=HomeTopFeature">https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/c...
"The coronavirus is having an alarmingly disproportionate impact on African Americans, who make up about 13.6% of the state& #39;s residents but more than 40% of the more than 500 people who have died as of Monday"
"In Chicago, Black people make up 30% of the city& #39;s population and 72% of its COVID-19 deaths."
"In Louisiana, Black people make up 33% of the state& #39;s population and 70% of its COVID-19 deaths."
The federal and many state governments did not "fumble." They were not "caught by surprise."
The lack of action IS action
The desired outcome is being achieved. Mass death of some of the most oppressed and hated members of society

The lack of action from federal and state governments IS action
The desired result, suffering and death, is being achieved
