We speak with Alexander McClelland and Zoë Dodd about criminalization in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2016, they published "An Anarchist Response to Hep C & HIV." We spoke about the Canadian healthcare system, the problem with government approaches to "Public Health," Hep C & HIV criminalization and what it can tell us about what's happening in the present crisis.
