Perhaps later modules of the -19 report will ask to what extent and politicians knowingly or intentionally crafted policy that widened inequality. Political leaders did not care about , , and financially people. They possibly committed , accelerating deaths of people with high social welfare costs (and inadvertently causing even greater levels of long-term illness & unemployment).

UK Covid-19 Inquiry. Module 1: The resilience and preparedness of the United Kingdom. A report by The Rt Hon the Baroness Hallett DBE, Chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry (July 2024), page vii:

"The impact of the disease did not fall equally. Research suggests that, in the UK, mortality rates were significantly higher among people with a physical or learning disability and people with pre-existing conditions, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. People from some ethnic minority groups and those living in deprived areas had a significantly higher risk of being infected by Covid-19 and dying from it."

@petergleick I endorse this wholeheartedly. Always happy to share my work with others where I can. It’s especially important for the very many scholars in #precarious employment or independent researchers. I put up anything I legally can on Academia for exactly that reason.

If you wonder why the #biennalearchitettura2023 #pavilion of the #Czech and the #Slovak republics in the #Giardini seems closed (it's under construction), with a scarse video presentation in front of it: The Czech exhibition "The Office for a Non-#Precarious Future" is being shown on #Arsenale, featuring the toxic working conditions in #architecture, with an important message to all (knowledge) workers: Organize, #unionize .

@wilf @Mer__edith "I think it’s stunning that someone would say that the [from ""] that are happening now — which are felt most acutely by people who have been historically : people, , people, workers, et cetera — that those harms aren’t .
