Opinion | Where Are All Our Post-Covid Patients? - By Daniela J. Lamas
The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/26/opinion/post-covid-care.html
Dr. Lamas is a pulmonary and critical-care physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
At the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Nisha Viswanathan finds that she disproportionately sees long Covid patients in her post-Covid clinic who are well off and adept at navigating the health care system and — in a few cases — can even arrange a private jet to fly from their home to Los Angeles. If coronavirus was a disease of the vulnerable, Covid-19 follow-up has become a luxury of the well resourced. These are patients who can call the clinic repeatedly, waiting for a spot to open, who can afford to take days off work for pulmonary rehab and other appointments. “How do you provide care to the neediest individuals when you have this competing crowd?” Dr. Viswanathan asked.
This is particularly troubling given the data from her own institution, surveying Covid patients after their hospital discharge, which found that Black and Hispanic patients had lingering symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath at similar rates as their white peers. While expectations of the health care system and the experience of illness are different across cultures, inequities in health care access could have an effect on whether patients seek care. The suffering is out there.
Indeed, at the Covid-19 Recovery Clinic at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, long Covid is not a disease of the privileged. At the clinic, in the Bronx, the population reflects the diversity of their surrounding community: About half of the patients are Hispanic, a quarter Black and about 15 percent Caucasian. Thanks to doctors who are familiar with the challenges of navigating Medicaid, these patients receive referrals to physical therapy and sub-specialists that they’re able to access.
(...) “These patients are young and are extremely debilitated, and they are coming to me six months too late — because we don’t have the resources to follow them and schedule them, so they fall through the cracks,”
(...) At every turn, Covid-19 has revealed the fault lines in our health care system and society. It should come as little surprise that the care delivered in the wake of this virus threatens to further entrench pre-existing disparities.

On se contente de se gargariser de « valeur travail » et de fustiger les « feignants qui ne veulent pas bosser ».
Je ne sais pas à combien d’infections en est mon voisin du dessous qui bosse dans la restauration, mais y a des nuits, c’est trop la dame aux camélias, dessous et je vous assure qu’on a plutôt une bonne insonorisation sur ce type de bruit.
Là, pendant que j’écris, je pense qu’il donne directement du mou dans l’assiette de son chat, tout frais craché.
Le gus bosse toujours et j’ai du mal à imaginer comment ça se passe en cuisine…
La semaine dernière dans la crèche d’en dessous, c’était les gamins qui toussaient. Cette semaine, ce sont les adultes. Un indep’ que je fais bosser et qui était là il y a 10 jours... il doit revenir demain. Il me dit qu’il est enrhumé depuis 2 jours. Comme l’alternant qui me disait être enrhumé, toussant, et prenant du paracétamol. Lui il est en télétravail maintenant.
Jamais vu autant de gens enrhumés (et toussant (et prenant du paracétamol)) ces temps-ci.

By Shira Ovide
Sept. 8, 2022
I’ve had the opportunity to write the On Tech newsletter for the past two and a half years, and now that time has come to an end. This is my last edition.
I have been grateful to write what have felt like personal letters to you about the meanings, joys and frustrations of technology in our lives. We have been in this together. I will miss your voices in my inbox and rattling around in my brain with smart ideas, compliments and suggestions to do better.
I will sign off by returning to a familiar theme in On Tech that emerged in the first edition of this newsletter and many times since: Technology empowers us, but technology alone is not enough. We — not technology products or the companies and executives behind them — hold the power to shape the world we want.
My views on technology have been altered by the pandemic and other events since 2020 in ways that I still don’t understand. I feel both more thankful for technology and more impatient about it.
Technology holds the hope of profound, positive change and often delivers it, but at times it falls short, partly because people behind the technologies we love sometimes can be too myopic and unimaginative about the complexity of our lives.
What do I mean? I recently sent a giddy ALL CAPS email to a colleague about a New York Times Opinion column by the health writer Libby Watson, who focused on the limits of Amazon’s ambitions to make navigating American health care as convenient as shopping from our sofas.
Amazon and its peers have done remarkable feats to change what it means to buy and sell products. But the promise of Amazon-ifying health care seemed simultaneously hopeful and hopelessly naïve.
“Any company claiming its innovation will revolutionize American health care by itself is selling a fantasy,” Watson wrote. “There is no technological miracle waiting around the corner that will solve problems caused by decades of neglectful policy decisions and rampant fraud.”

I’m not a health care expert, as Watson is, but I can grasp that bad technology is not really the reason America pays more for health care, for worse outcomes, than other rich countries.
Making Americans healthier demands smarter policies, a better understanding of why people mistrust health institutions, a recognition that changing the status quo will leave some people worse off, and a tackling of the financial motives keeping things the way they are. Making a better customer app won’t fix this.
Over and over, I’ve written in this newsletter about crummy technology that is a symptom, not a cause, of broader structural failures in areas like health care, connecting more of the world to the internet and our interactions with government services. And that means that technology is just one piece of the solution to making things better.
Digital tools are table stakes now — a necessity for any change. But to steal a line that I used in an early edition of this newsletter and think of as a motto for my work: Technology is not magic.
Advances in battery technology and solar energy innovations will help make our planet more livable, but they are one part of the difficult, collective solution to slow climate change. Firing satellites into space or expanding 5G wireless technology may help connect more people to the internet, as I wrote, but tech inventions are not sufficient to tackle all the personal, financial and social barriers that keep billions of global citizens from making the most of modern digital life.
It’s great to imagine that better versions of cars will fix what we hate about transportation, but as I’ve pointed out, they might not.
We need better schools, better infrastructure, better workplaces, better housing and stronger human connections. Technology is a piece of that, but it’s just one piece.
That said, we need the imaginations of technologists to help dream of better ways of doing things.
We know the strong bonds that we can build with people who are on the other side of a WhatsApp message or a Facebook group. My work would not be possible without having endless information one web search away and my colleagues close by on a video call. During the coronavirus pandemic, we have been able to muddle through partly because we have been able to socialize, shop, work and attend school through screens. That is a miracle.
I am also grateful for people in technology with the can-do spirit who keep questioning whether there is a better way. Why should we have to buy eyeglasses or hearing aids from expensive health care providers? What if cars didn’t have drivers or traveled above the ground? What if digital calculations on the blockchain could help us take power from gatekeeper institutions like banks and internet corporations? We need the digital dreamers and tinkerers, even if they go off the rails sometimes.
But I also worry that a belief in the power of invention will be an excuse to avoid the hard work of improving our relationships with one another, strengthening education and housing, making our planet healthier, and keeping us safe and secure.
It’s up to us to take technology and run with it. We deserve to shape technology to serve our interests. And we also need to know when technology is essential, and when it is not enough.

Letter of support for #Uju_Anya after she was targeted by Jeff Bezos and her employer for her criticism of the Queen’s commitments to colonial violence
Dear Supporters of Dr. Uju Anya,
Dr. Uju Anya is a world-renowned Nigerian-Trinidadian-American Associate Professor of Second Language Acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University. Her groundbreaking research focuses on the experiences of African American students in world language education. She brings attention to systemic barriers that African American students face in accessing world language education and the marginalization they experience in world language classrooms. Yet, her research isn’t only focused on these challenges. Her work points to concrete ways of making world language education more equitable. The significance and quality of her scholarship can be seen in the fact that her widely-cited book, Racialized Identities in Second Language Language: Speaking Blackness in Brazil (▻https://www.routledge.com/Racialized-Identities-in-Second-Language-Learning-Speaking-Blackness-in/Anya/p/book/9780367197469), was awarded the prestigious 2019 American Association for Applied Linguistics First Book Award (▻https://www.aaal.org/first-book-award).
Dr. Anya has also been at the forefront of leading efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the field of applied linguistics, a field that has struggled to diversify and that remains white dominated. She mentors Black students and other students of color, as well as assume leadership roles in a range of professional organizations, such as the American Association for Applied Linguistics where she amplifies the voices of emerging scholars of color. She has also been able to amass a broad social media presence on Twitter that showcases her love of Black people across the Diaspora, her passion for uplifting the voices LGBTQA+ persons, and a space for collective joy.
The Issue
On September 8, 2022, shortly before Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, Dr. Anya tweeted her feelings about the queen’s death. As a Black woman who was born in Nigeria, whose family has been directly harmed by the insidious impacts of British imperialism, genocide, and white supremacy, Dr. Anya expressed her pain on her personal Twitter account. Not only did Queen Elizabeth II sit on a throne of Indigenous and Black blood, embedded in the overall legacy of the British monarchy, her actual government presided over and directly facilitated the genocide that Dr. Anya’s parents and siblings barely survived (▻https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-04-29-how-britains-labour-government-facilitated-the-massacre-). This genocide entailed the massacre of more than 3 million Igbo people, including other family members of Dr. Anya. While within public discourse, the term “colonizer” can appear to be an abstract term that people have only read about in history books, Dr. Anya experienced the reverberations of colonial white supremacy first hand. Thus, Queen Elizabeth II was not figuratively but literally her colonizer, and the colonizer of millions of people across the world—and particularly countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and Indian Ocean territories. As if these atrocities weren’t enough, during her tenure, Queen Elizabeth II oversaw the brutal detainment camps in colonial Kenya (▻https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/09/world/africa/queen-africa-british-empire.html), banned ‘’coloured or foreign’ staff in the palace (▻https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/02/buckingham-palace-banned-ethnic-minorities-from-office-roles-papers-rev), and committed her career to the “service of our great imperial family’’ in a 1947 speech in South Africa (▻https://theconversation.com/five-ways-the-monarchy-has-benefited-from-colonialism-and-slavery-1). Over the course of more than 70 years, the imperial reign of Queen Elizabeth II was inextricably tied to the legacy of the British Empire’s commitment to white supremacy and colonialism.
Dr. Uju Anya’s tweet, again sent from her personal Twitter account, quickly went viral—largely due to an outpouring of global support from others harmed by the British colonial regime. At the same time, there was also a torrent of criticism as well as targeted harassment directed against Dr. Anya. While “going viral” is not an uncommon occurrence for Dr. Anya or any public intellectual, having a tweet picked up by billionaire Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos was however extraordinary. Bezos did not condemn the words and sentiment of Dr. Anya’s tweet, which would’ve been his right to free speech. Instead, he vilified her by suggesting that her pedagogical, activist, and scholarly contributions are “supposedly” not “working to make the world better.” We beg to differ, as would the many students with improved experiences in world language education and the increasing number of African American students entering applied linguistics because they now see themselves within historically white spaces precisely because of the groundwork laid by Dr. Anya. Although this particular tweet would’ve been highly inappropriate from any person in power, it is particularly pernicious as an attack against a Black Nigerian-Trinidadian-American Professor, coming from a man that has amassed his wealth through global domination and exploitation without regard for the most vulnerable and precarious humans on our planet (▻https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/26/amazon-workers-are-rising-up-around-the-world-to-say-enough). This is, frankly, not dissimilar to the British monarchy’s colonial project—Bezos simply remixed the colonial schema through neoliberal racial capitalism, exploitation, and greed.
The strength of Bezos’ platform is no secret either. With over 5 million followers on Twitter, Bezos has the capacity to impress hundreds of millions of people with a single tweet. Bezos also utilizes his reputation and mass fortune to support university projects across the globe. In the last decade Bezos has made donations to countless universities, including Carnegie Mellon University—Dr. Anya’s home institution. This financial paper trail is highly relevant to Professor Anya’s treatment and the university’s subsequent statement. Now, Dr. Anya faces violent threats, harassment, and abuse.
Reflections on CMU’s Statement on Dr. Anya’s Tweet
As colleagues at other institutions, one thing that sticks out to us is that universities have nothing to gain by calling out individual employees on free speech—especially when they can be seen doing it selectively—as is the case for CMU. Professor Anya’s twitter clearly states: “Views are mine.” Yet, her institution took up the charge to admonish a Black woman professor, calling her response to her lived experiences of the real and tangible impacts of colonialism and white supremacy, "offensive and objectionable.” This is unacceptable and dehumanizing. Simultaneously, the institution arguing that Professor Anya’s critical reflections were "not representative of the level of discourse at CMU ’’ forces us to ask: Where is the space for this sort of discourse if not within the free speech that academia purports to uplift? Where else is it safe for students, scholars, and thinkers alike to openly express the horrors of white supremacy, colonial atrocities and genocide? “Who is the ‘we’ referenced here?” asks UPenn Professor, Dr. Nelson Flores (▻https://twitter.com/nelsonlflores/status/1568217467058544643). And, importantly, “What are the standards of discourse when somebody is speaking truth to their oppressors?”
(▻https://twitter.com/ProfeRandolph/status/1568238263579693061?s=20&t=zDodej-DbG_rmHMhjurGtg).
We also note the strikingly different institutional response to the social media activity of Richard Grenell, a CMU-affiliated senior fellow and Trump official who used his Twitter platform to spread hateful messages and conspiracy theories that have been characterized as sinophobic and antisemitic. When student groups and community members expressed outrage and alarm, CMU President Farnam Jahanian refused to condemn Grennell’s statements and instead expressed strong support for his first amendment rights (▻https://www.cmu.edu/leadership/president/campus-comms/2020/2020-11-18.html).
As a counter example to CMU’s deplorable response, Syracuse University’s Chancellor and Dean issued a statement in support of their colleague and employee (▻https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/09/14/syracuse-offers-unequivocal-support-targeted-professor), Dr. Jenn Jackson (another Black woman violently threatened and abused after a viral tweet). Her institution immediately denounced the violent threats against her, refused to sanction or discipline her, and honored her right to free speech. While we by no means think this process was or is perfect, we cite this to note that other peer-institutions have responded in more humane and supportive ways to their Black female faculty. CMU had a choice and their response was a deliberate betrayal against one of their own highly regarded and respected scholars. It has further exposed her to threats of violence.
Forward and Onward
The British Monarchy and “The Royal Family” are much more than the weddings, the kids, and the racialized intrafamily drama that American pop culture has seen over the past decade. The British Monarchy has caused and is directly responsible for widespread irreparable harm in the past, now in the present, and likely in the future because the impacts of white supremacy and settler colonialism are insidious. It is inappropriate, harmful, and ahistorical to admonish colonized people or “tell them how they should feel about their colonizer’s health and wellness” as University of Michigan tenured professor, Dr. Ebony Elizabeth Thomas astutely tweeted.
More than our thoughts and prayers, we request actionable support to be shown towards Professor Uju Anya. We ask university officials at CMU to consider what harms are both elided from critical discourse and reproduced in the classroom when they choose to stand on the side of the oppressor. Universities must be intentional about how they respond to public discourse and critically evaluate who they are targeting and/or harming by their response or lack of response. We call on universities to stop being reactive when issues of structural oppression are called to their attention and take seriously its impacts on staff, faculty, students, and families.
In closing, we echo Dr. Nelson Flores’ tweet from September 9th (▻https://twitter.com/nelsonlflores/status/1568242131067625472), which asks, “Whose deaths are mourned versus ignored or celebrated,” and who gets to decide?

La reine Elizabeth est morte, mais son héritage sanglant perdure Sharon Zhang
▻https://www.investigaction.net/fr/la-reine-elizabeth-est-morte-mais-son-heritage-sanglant-perdure
La reine Elizabeth II est morte le 8 septembre après avoir régné 70 ans sur le Royaume-Uni. Les messages de condoléances affluent du monde entier. S’il est difficile d’évaluer à quel point Elizabeth aura pesé sur les décisions du Royaume-Uni, difficile de passer à côté du sanglant bilan de l’impérialisme britannique. (IGA)
La reine Elizabeth II, le monarque britannique ayant régné le plus longtemps, est décédée jeudi à l’âge de 96 ans dans le château de la famille royale en Écosse, a indiqué le palais de Buckingham jeudi soir.
Pour beaucoup, notamment dans le monde occidental, les 70 ans de règne de la reine ont été marqués par la stabilité et la diplomatie. Sous le règne d’Elizabeth, la famille royale a pris soin de se distancier de la politique du pays et de la longue histoire coloniale de la monarchie.
Mais des millions de personnes ont vécu et subissent encore les conséquences du colonialisme brutal et du racisme de la famille royale, tant à l’étranger qu’au Royaume-Uni. Pour ces millions de personnes, l’héritage de la reine se perpétuera sous la forme de la domination violente et persistante que la famille royale a exercée et dont elle profite encore.
Pour de nombreux défenseurs de la famille royale, la reine Élisabeth devrait être protégée de telles critiques. Elle a mis des distances entre la famille royale et ce passé pas très glorieux. Et elle a tenté de faire amende honorable à travers des événements tels que les tournées du Commonwealth.
Ses détracteurs réfutent cet argument, affirmant que la famille royale n’a toujours pas affronté son passé ni payé des réparations aux personnes qui continuent de souffrir à cause de la monarchie britannique, des décennies encore après le colonialisme direct. La famille royale a également fait l’objet de critiques pour avoir caché la poussière de son histoire sous le tapis, notamment lors du jubilé de platine de la reine cette année.
« Tant le hasard de sa longue vie que sa présence en tant que chef d’État et chef du Commonwealth – une association regroupant la Grande-Bretagne et ses anciennes colonies – ont permis d’apposer une chape traditionaliste sur des décennies de violents bouleversements« , a écrit Maya Jasanoff, professeur d’histoire à l’université de Harvard, dans le New York Times. ▻https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/08/opinion/queen-empire-decolonization.html « En tant que telle, la reine a contribué à occulter une histoire sanglante de décolonisation dont les proportions et les séquelles n’ont pas encore été reconnues de manière adéquate. »
Depuis presque aussi longtemps que la monarchie existe, elle a été une puissance colonialiste et impérialiste, colonisant et exploitant des dizaines et des dizaines de pays et de territoires en particulier dans le Sud. Beaucoup partagent des répercussions communes en termes de pauvreté et d’oppression continue.
Au fil des siècles, le Royaume-Uni a détourné des milliers de milliards de dollars de ses colonies pour s’enrichir. Jusqu’a aujourd’hui, il continue de profiter de ce passé et de ce présent racistes. La monarchie s’est construite sur l’esclavage, établissant un commerce d’esclaves qui a vu des millions d’Africains et d’Américains du Sud et du Nord déplacés vers d’autres pays. La traite des esclaves était si importante que ce n’est qu’en 2015 que le pays a fini de rembourser l’intégralité de ses « dettes » envers les propriétaires des esclaves libérés au XIXe siècle.
Évidemment, le règne d’Elizabeth a débuté en 1952 et ce n’est pas elle qui a mis en œuvre ces politiques. Rappelons tout de même qu’elle est parfois intervenue lorsque, par exemple, l’ancienne Première ministre Margaret Thatcher refusait d’aider à mettre fin à l’apartheid en Afrique du Sud.
Mais certains, notamment ceux qui ont directement souffert de l’impérialisme britannique durant son règne, affirment qu’Elizabeth a eu un impact direct sur les prises de décision de son époque. Des historiens diront qu’il est difficile de déterminer quelles horreurs imposées par le Royaume-Uni sous son règne – au Kenya ou en Irlande par exemple – ont été autorisées par la reine. D’autres affirment qu’elle est responsable. Pour les victimes de la domination coloniale britannique en tout cas, difficile de mettre de la distance entre la Couronne et les décisions politiques du pays.
À gauche, certains affirment que la symbolique du trône reflète l’oppression, la discrimination et de grandes inégalités de richesses au Royaume-Uni. Les principaux membres de la gauche britannique n’osent pas cependant plaider l’abolition de la monarchie.
Elizabeth était au moins en partie responsable de certaines inégalités que le pays a connues et qui se sont perpétuées lorsqu’elle était sur le trône.
Ces dernières années, la Couronne a résisté aux demandes de réparation que des pays comme la Barbade et la Jamaïque réclamaient pour l’exploitation sanglante et abominable survenue dans le cadre de la traite britannique des esclaves.
Même au niveau national, les antécédents racistes de la famille royale au cours des dernières décennies ne donnent pas une bonne image de la Couronne. Ces discriminations ont été entretenues au sein même du palais de Buckingham ; les conseillers royaux ont ainsi interdit aux « immigrants ou étrangers de couleur » de travailler dans le palais au moins jusqu’à la fin des années 1960, soit plus d’une décennie après le début du règne d’Elizabeth.
Le racisme profondément ancré au sein de la famille royale semble persister aujourd’hui ; en 2020, le duc et la duchesse de Sussex, le prince Harry et Meghan Markle, ont carrément quitté la famille royale en dénonçant le racisme qui y sévissait, malgré les protestations de membres de la famille comme le prince William.

Je crois que la partie du règne d’Elizabeth II que j’ai préférée, c’est quand elle a enfin cassé sa pipe et qu’on a arrêté de nous casser les couilles avec cette baudruche des Hohenzollern et sa famille de tarés où chaque génération a toujours son rigolo qui se déguise en nazi.
