UK place names are funny bcos you get villages called things like 'Cummingbuttsworth' but US place names are funny bcos you get towns that are just called like 'Semen'
When I think about how Europe, North America, etc are hoarding vaccines.
How the countries with the least spending power do not expect to be able to mass vaccinate until 2023.
How the difference between 1.5 years of pandemic and 4 years of pandemic will dramatically amplify existing economic inequalities.
How inevitable new virus mutations appearing in those countries will be mobilized to fuel anti-immigration sentiments and close borders in the name of ‘stopping the virus’.
How those borders absolutely will not reopen once levels of vaccination go up and that will happen at the same time that the expansion of ongoing climate collapse will destroy larger parts of the world.
How we were already on route to “rich countries sit in militarized fortresses while most of the world dies” anyway and this just cements that route even further.
