The #JamiaViolence is a result of journalists like Arnab and his @republic TV

Hate speech was prosecuted as a war crime in the tribunal for Rwanda.The judgment declared that the way the journalists had acted constituted “journalism as genocide”.

thepolisproject.com/journalism-as-…
Between 2014 — 2016 I analyzed witness testimonies from the Nuremberg, Yugoslavia and Rwanda trials, two things become increasingly clear. #JamiaViolence
First, truthful reporting of facts, analytical investigation of issues, and a stand against violence by journalists in all these instances could have both changed the behavior of the perpetrators, and in some instance even prevented the slaughter. #JamiaGunViolence #JamiaViolence

How should macroeconomic policy respond to COVID-19? Twitter has hosted a lively debate in recent days. In this chart, I’ve tried to distill that discussion into three basic strategies: (1/5)
First, some immediate decline in economic activity is necessary to combat the virus. We want risky activities to stop. We know GDP is not a measure of social wellbeing. That’s especially true today. Policy should not try to fill that hole. (2/5)
Second, we want our productive capacity to rebound once the virus risk recedes. COVID-19 shouldn’t destroy otherwise healthy businesses, nonprofits, etc. As just one example, that’s why the UK is now offering business interruption loans. (3/5)

1. @darden, parent company of @olivegarden, DOES NOT provide its 170K+ restaurant employees w/paid sick leave (except in 11 states where it's the law)

I talked to @darden staff around the country and heard horror stories about people coming to work sick

popular.info/p/free-breadst…
@darden @olivegarden 2. Even as the coronavirus spreads, @darden, which had $8.5 BILLION in revenue last year, and recently awarded its CEO a $15.7 million pay package, continues to make its workers choose between staying home sick and paying their rent

3. "I remember times when people came in with flu, strep, common colds. Many times people wouldn’t go to the doctor because most of us didn’t have health insurance." -- A former server at @cheddarskitchen in Kentucky, another @darden restaurant chain

Viruses infect people.

Saying that un(der)insured people who forego care are ‘infecting’ others is to frame them as embodied social problems, when the problem is that healthcare is inaccessible & inequitable, rationed by employment status & income amid structural unemployment.
The language we use is so important- especially in an emergent situation where danger is unevenly distributed (older & immunocompromised people). It communicates who does or does not matter

E.g. most of the messaging WRT mask use excludes people who are immunocompromised.
See also: calls for quarantine & isolation (not equivalent in public health parlance) that ignore the reality that most workers in the US- esp. low-paid workers- do not get paid sick leave. If folks are already un(der)insured & foregoing care, they can’t afford to miss work.
