You think refusal to provide medical care & resources for disabled people re #COVID19 makes sense? This is eugenics. You are literally saying my life is worth less than yours. Do not judge our quality of life as lesser because we face disabling barriers within society. #NHS 1/5
If you are an ally, there are things you can do to protect us. Sign this statement asking the NHS for equality in these difficult times:

We want to stop things like this happening: last week a letter, from Llynfi Surgery, Maesteg, asked some disabled people to sign Do Not Resuscitate orders to ensure emergency services would not be called if their condition worsened due to coronavirus. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52117814 3/5
Watch this video by @DrJonHastie for clarity - this is a resource issue which is being made into an ethical one. We don't have to do this, we don't have to think this way. https://bit.ly/2yztHmD  4/5
The best way we can help everyone, and retain our morality, is to ensure less people get sick at any one time, so that NHS resources do not become critically stretched. #FlattenTheCurve #StayAtHome #Shielding #ProtectTheNHS 5/5
