The extent of disabled death caused by the pandemic and a government policy of violent exclusion, abandonment and viral warfare was unveiled this weekend. It accounted for 96% of total deaths and no one gave a fuck. https://twitter.com/GlumBird/status/1330134232430211072
You do not have an analysis of the pandemic without this. You just don’t.
The left has utterly failed to advance a materialist analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, in no small part due to its disableism. The consequences are that many are treating the lockdown as an absolute, rather than recognising we don’t have one. We have a system of segregation.
The virus is *being introduced* among those most susceptible to its impact.

In care, this is made more bloody by the denial of any human contact.

Both truther and SocDem advance a one-sided apologism for this. The truth?

“Lockdown” 🤝 COVID-19 - murdering the disabled.
It is little wonder that neither side of the “lockdown” debate gives a shit. To acknowledge this disabled death undermines them both.

That is why this not mentioned, not because people don’t know, but because they advance abstract moralism which shatters on contact with reality.
[Aside: stat for England, sorry should have made that clear]
I should probably stop getting angry though right? Britain’s busy arguing about pubs again
