Two Videos of People with COVID-19, from Early 2020
These are videos from April 2020. I’m writing this in January 2022. We’re still in this pandemic. That dude had diabetes and a load of snacks.

He wanted land to be held in common, and was known for…

On High Rates of Infection in the Latino Communities
The management of this pandemic is racist as hell. I looked back over my emails and some posts, and I was going off on the issue of essential workers and crowded housing back in April of 2020. This barely ever came up in the media as an important factor in the spread of COVID-19, until…
