The measures taken to slow or stop the spread of this pandemic are necessary. It is also inevitable that the capitalist class will use these measures to try to increase their power over the working class. The one doesn't rule out the other, nor should we be ignoring either side of this equation. But what most socialists do seem to be ignoring is the most important class aspect of this disaster, the aspect that is the very basis of it. I am referring to the clash between capitalist development and the laws of nature. To be more specific: How habitat loss and factory farming are together responsible for the spread of these new zoonotic diseases.
