The road to hell wasn't paved with good intentions.

It was paved with screaming at fat people about 'health' & threatening us with certain death

Five seconds before you tell people that they need to go die for 'the economy'

😑
What I think should be the most clear during coronavirus is that the definition of "health" as used by the status quo- is inextricably tied into capitalism & empire in the US
The American definition of health is-- are you the most productive worker you can be

can you do a huge amount of work without needing rest

And-
Are you physically capable of fighting in our imperial wars

It's not a definition of health for people, it doesn't care about that.
That's why the conservative reaction to corona is actually about health, as they have defined it

To a conservative, to a capitalist- individual human health and human lives are meaningless when they can't be exploited by capital to generate wealth
There is no Health except for the Health of the capitalist's wallet

It is DIRE
But you can't effectively fight what you don't understand
