TPS107 PANDEMIC OF THE CARE HOME | Ross Barkan, Mareile Pfannebecker 🔓 UNLOCKED

Originally released to subscribers at https://www.patreon.com/thepopularpod / Video for Sublation Media @ https://youtu.be/xuyWOumI14U Lockdowns and other COVID-19 measures were billed as protecting the  most vulnerable in society. Why, then, were nursing homes treated by  policy makers as acceptable sites of the most concentrated deaths? Were  old people victims not only of COVID-19, but of lockdown measures  themselves? James talks to Ross Barkan, biographer of Andrew Cuomo and  writer on New York politics for Jacobin, and Mareile Pfannebecker (critic and translator and James's own co-author).
