Marxist perspectives on Covid (Re: California’s COVID-19 surpassed last summer’s peak)

Hi,
Employing a Marxist perspective can aid in
illuminating how economic practices and material
conditions influence prevalent ideologies
related to stigma.
Firstly, capitalism increases the risk of
spreading infectious diseases and stigma.
Capitalism spreads the disease by impoverishing
migrant health and blaming them, where territorial,
political, judicial and economic expulsions
are their means.
Secondly, capitalism has kidnapped science, which
  can no longer be truly objective or independent.
As criticized by McClure et al. (47), in the context
of COVID-19, epidemiology now focuses the obtention
of viral infections on individual biology and
behavior. However, this ignores the influential
role of the occupational environment in the
transmission of the virus and, to some extent,
absolves industry of responsibility for
worker safety.
Lessons from the stigma of COVID-19 survivors:

But why wants a Marxist deny Covid? This
is beyond my recognition. Possibly was a
Marxist with only one brain cell.

Hi,
 The interstimg thimg about SIR-Models they
can be used to detect an epidemic:
 With the help of the SIR model, we can
determine for given initial values ​​I_0,S_0,\beta ,
\gamma whether the course of the disease will
result in an epidemic.

 Maybe we should look at Covid, and not Long-Covid.
But modelling of Long-Covid would be also intersting.
 Currently I am reading:
  > California’s COVID-19 test positivity rate has surpassed
last summer’s peak, largely fueled by the FLiRT variants,
particularly KP.3.1.1. The rapid spread of these strains
suggests a likely rise in cases in the weeks ahead.

But hey, when do you have the chance to work

"Long Covid" and "Covid 19" trending on Twitter.
They have interresting tips:

Reminder: If you recently had covid, the recommen-
dation is that you not exercise for at least 6-8
weeks--even if your symptoms were mild--to not
put more stress on your body, which could lead
to Long COVID. Conserve your energy as much as you can.
