This right here is another thing that's so terribly wrong and callous with blaming the victims... "Why didn't they stay home?" Because many had to work so others could "just stay home" and sometimes those workers unwittingly brought it to their crowded, multi-generational home. https://twitter.com/Arrianna_Planey/status/1368643445888344066 …

But only "islands" can do that, that's the secret sauce. (Yes, that's sarcasm).https://twitter.com/ajsta/status/1368672755609071616 …

Important, tough read. We should have paused all rent and all mortgage payments, and provided more support so people wouldn’t have to work. Excluding undocumented from aid was huge mistake, we know better

Drawing attention to the subject of the NYT article can stand alone. Or perhaps in relationship to the minimum wage provision that was just voted down. The comparison of this tragedy with legitimate anger at people who don't comply w/health provisions, trivializes everything.

Read similar/identical article in the LA Times. Someone did an analysis and if we just "sent the vaccine" to places in Los Angeles with the highest infection and death rates it would autmatically target latinos, af-americans, essential workers and the 'underserved in general'.

But the opposite is happening of course! The wealthiest areas with the lower infection and death rates have the highest vaccine rates and poor/essential workers have the lowest.

What if we chant "as we vaccinate as quickly as possible, the federal government needs to pay most people to stay home, while paying hazard pay for vaccinated essential workers"?
