Here's The Thing, Tho with Soaliha
Society & Culture
This week we catch up on all of the Covid related stories that broke while we were on break – and, oh boy, a lot has happened.
We discuss the constant backflipping from our leaders regarding Covid rules, the nature of capitalism and how this wave of the pandemic manifests it, RAT availabilities and the ~free market~, and how the pandemic has exposed our ableism. Phew. It’s a lot.
*CORRECTION: Soaliha said a mentally ill woman was jailed after escaping quarantine in Queensland to see her mother. This woman was arrested, but not jailed. There was a different, separate incident where a Queensland woman was jailed for breaching isolation rules.
