Structural racism? Wtf has that got to do with anything

Wtf does racism have to do with Covid?

If I caused the death of one person in my work place, I'd be jailed. So would you. They caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens due to decision they made whilst drunk/hungover from partying and coked up to the eyeballs. Why aren't these tories in jail

1 Covid was made in a lab. 2 They were working on the vaccine two years before the pandemic 3 Nuremberg is coming and the punishments for all those involved will be harsh.

We must never forget when they coerced the children for use as shields to temporarily and marginally "protect" adults,

[MrTimmyvee]

Quite. it's a term that seems to be given and accepted without any enquiry, at all

[leemorgan]

Is it a debate or just another whitewash ?

[JugglinJellyTake]

Families' hardships should be discussed from the start. Categorising the deaths according to specific failings is vital to understanding the systemic failures and where the accountability lies.

We know:
1) funding was cut during austerity for dealing with pandemics.
2) the NHS are under-resourced with between 100, 000 and 120, 000 posts unfilled
3) NHS staff are grossly underpaid while some work for private health companies (we have no knowledge as far as I know how many consultants and nurses were taken up by private health care companies)
4) even during a pandemic the government failed to increase the number of medical staff choosing to rely on volunteers and medics who came out of retirement.
