I don't post all the articles I edit here on this blog, but this one is particularly worth mentioning... Anthropologist Gabriella Soto writes a compelling piece comparing the unknown death count from COVID-19 to the unknown deaths from undocumented migration into the United States, along with the uncounted deaths from systemic racism and police violence. Such miscounts suffer from politics, bureaucracy, and the complex trail of social factors that lie behind the biological causes of death. Worth a read!
