can we stop with the “coronavirus is a blessing, actually” narrative

it’s not solving our “overpopulation” problem, because that was never our problem in the first place!! the problem is the overuse and inequitable distribution of resources

COVID-19 is not “nature taking it’s revenge”, it’s killing the vulnerable, not the corporations and billionaires responsible for the climate crisis

and the whole idea that it’s “bringing us closer together” may be true for the upper middle class getting to work from home, but it’s absolute bullshit for frontline workers, people who still have to go in to work, and people who can’t afford to live now that they aren’t allowed to work
