Paul Alexander, the last person on Earth living in an iron lung after surviving polio as a child, was just killed by covid. The shame of it. Nothing quite sums up the hegemonic project of covid normalization, and the total disregard for the lives of the vulnerable, like a polio survivor being killed by covid.
I was in the ER 2 weeks ago and all the staff there think masks are chin guards. When you call them out on it they get angry and put the mask halfway on for about 2 minutes, then resumed their normal stupidity and think they are paper chin guards again.
