The Political Economy of #Covid

"Over the last several years, the #Biden administration has overseen a rapid dismantling of the #USCovidResponse, alongside an effort to normalize the virus as part of everyday life. This session will explore how this rush to a premature 'end' of the pandemic was accomplished, how it was presented as an apolitical and technocratic matter of changing circumstances."

@pixplz They could have been safe(r).

Here’s a link to the Boston Public school ventilation monitoring system. Some of the schools you can click on and see the air quality in each classroom at any time of day or night, some of them it looks more like they aggregated the results. But either way it’s pretty impressive.

Also the Death Panel Pod had a great episode where they talked about how Boston Public schools got some great data about how well masks worked because of this ventilation system.

After our idiot president decided that vaccinated people didn’t have to wear masks anymore, some of the public schools dropped the masks while some of them kept them. They all kept the ventilation.

The data showed that masks kept people from getting infected even with the ventilation. It was a great episode (they all are really)

I think it was this one but if not it was the one titled “How Liberals Killed Masking”.

I'm SUPER allergic to US-centrism, so I've avoided listening to #DeathPanelPod (a health podcast made by Americans, for Americans? RUN AWAY) even though it comes highly recommended. I dipped a toe in when they interviewed Naomi Klein, though, and have been listening to it ever since. I'm delighted to report that they're VERY careful about centring the US only in ways that make sense instead of rampantly & ubiquitously. And one of the hosts is originally Canadian! Sad I didn't realize it sooner.

@pixplz there’s actually data about this and you are totally right. Boston public schools have amazing #ventilation and at one point some of them dropped #masks and some of them didn’t. The data showed that the masks still really helped.
They talk about it in this podcast.
