Lexual Says: COVID-19 Edition

I have a lot to say about coronavirus, so I made a special edition of Lexual Says that covers the pandemic on a global scale. How have pandemics shaped human history? How is COVID-19 exposing classism, racism, and ableism? How is it exacerbating authoritarianism but also fueling the outrage necessary for successful grassroots movements for change? How will it shape our future? Though I wrote this video for filming a little over a month ago, I updated it and filmed it last week so there are a few recent current events missing, like Trump's dumb ass suggesting people inject themselves with disinfectant. You can get a list of sources and further reading for this video on patreon. Love the content? Support for $1/month on patreon.com/intelexualmedia!
