"Only the Old and Sick will Die": reproducing 'eugenic visuality' in covid 19 data visualization

COVID-19 illness and death has disproportionately impacted marginalized groups the world over. In the United States, Black and Indigenous people have endured the largest risk of death. Disabled and chronically ill people have continued to isolate as their peers “return to normal”, bearing sole liability for their own safety in a society that deems their lives not worth the “sacrifice” of public health measures. While public and institutional policy makers bare personal responsibility for “survival of the fittest” approaches to public health, data science and visualization has contributed to and legitimized many of these eugenic policy decisions through design tropes I characterize as ‘eugenic visuality’. In this paper, I explore how inadequacies and obscurities in COVID-19 data visualization have contributed to and sustained public narratives that devalue marginalized lives for the comfort of white-supremacist and capitalist social norms. While I focus on visualizations and statements provided by the CDC, the implications extend beyond any individual or institution to our collective preconceptions and values. Namely, unexamined biases and unquestioned norms are embedded in data science and visualization, constraining how data is represented and interpreted. These assumptions limit how data can be leveraged in the pursuit of just social policy. Therefore, I propose guiding principles for a Just Visuality in data science and representation, supported by the work of disabled activists and scholars of color.

Influenza is known to be seasonal.
Common cold is known to be seasonal.

COVID-19 has proven to not be seasonal.

And yet, all those people around me coughing, that’s a common cold?

Well, I don’t think so.

I finally joined team #crbox this week after wanting to for months.

$85 CAD for the setup.
$42 for the fan, and the filters were about $36 (bought in a 12 pack for $110).

Merv13 filters, so while it’s not up to hepa filter standards, it’s pretty dang effective.

Quieter than my fancy Mila air purifier, and way way cheaper (it was around $500 CAD, I think).

If anyone near Hamilton, ON wants to make one, I’ve got some filters you can take at cost.

While the power was out post cyclone, my petition to expand Paxlovid eligibility was accepted and presented to the House of Representatives by Green Party MP, Teanau Tuiono. It is now being considered by Select Committee. I'm to send in a written submission by the end of April. 🙂 #covidisnotover #covidnz #covidisairborn #nzpol

I'm really excited and hoping this turns out well but I'm working on sewing a diaper bag/bookbag that has a computer fan hepa filter thing built in so I can just take it with me to Dr's appointments and stuff

I've been planning it out ever since I saw CRBoxKits post about a corsibox with computer fans. 😍

I really hope it works and looks okay

I was really excited when a recruiter reached out to me, did the interview, this position is something I do amazing at... the executives often give me a problem and I go beyond expectations with results, Ive recovered hundreds of thousands of $ after a vendor told the company I worked for that it wasn't possible.

Anyways the recruiter hung up on me after I said I am only open for remote jobs due to the pandemic. She said it's over I should be in the office & I said no it's not.

Please sign and share my petition to make Paxlovid available to all medically vulnerable people including those with long covid. Many of us have had pre existing conditions badly exacerbated by first infection but don't fit the cur, very narrow, criteria. Long covid sufferers also afraid of of what reinfection will do to them.

Both Sides, Links in Opinion 🤗 "Reviewing a study on masks 😷 .... But let’s poke away!" 😉 (@CHendel)

"Here’s the study question — does using a medical mask while caring for a person with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 provide healthcare workers “noninferior” protection to an N95 mask?
