I guess the point I want to reiterate is that I don't see the lockdown as a greater incursion into bodily autonomy than what proceeded it, sometimes my body is forced into the work place sometimes it is forced out. None of it involves autonomy. The state always has the ability to choose what it does with or to our bodies.

A lot of these articles seem to focus on the rules rather than the possibilities or practicalities. While it is not legal to do so, I visit my family more frequently and in a more relaxed fashion in lockdown than I do outside of it. I am also fortunate enough that my wages have been subsidized by a government scheme so I am receiving enough money to survive (if not much else) but with no accountability. This again offers more bodily autonomy than being in work.

And yeah, even having said the above, it's still fucking shit. The pandemic seems to have intensified the worst aspects of capitalism. It feels like a preview to the end of civilization.

TW asks

what does that mean for our praxis?

Probably what it always has, finding ways to do what we want against the will of the state.
