Reposting from someone on another platform (with permission) because I feel like I've seen articles posted on here that would fit this description...

does anyone have articles or opinion pieces in their back pocket that they can link me to that describe intersections between COVID and other systemic injustices? I'm working on a paper for my PhD and I'm using covid to make the argument that periods of crisis get narrated as crisis when they pose a threat to the status quo, and crisis gets narrated as ordinary when action to prevent the crisis poses more of a threat to the status quo.

I wanna drop in reference to intersections with things like economic inequality or prisons (or anything else I'm sure there are loads of intersections) to point out that part of why covid 'ended' was that addressing it properly was starting to pose a threat to neoliberal normality.

(and this is a topic of interest to me as well!)

#CovidIsNotOver

Remembering these words from the now late Alice Wong today: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”
