TW/CW/CN - COVID19

If I were to contract the virus, I& #39;d probably be someone they& #39;d decide not to give treatment to. And I know lots of people who would be even less likely than me to receive that treatment, and who would probably be in more dire situations than if I got it. 1/8 https://twitter.com/ColoradoSun/status/1246946757981818880">https://twitter.com/ColoradoS...

I don& #39;t want to be all doom and gloom about this, but I don& #39;t want to ignore reality either. Everyone who has already died to this virus had a life that mattered, just like everyone who& #39;s contracted it and survived have lives that matter. 2/8

Those who are high risk have inherently valuable lives. They are not inferior to those who are low risk. If you have little to no worries about COVID19, & want to say something like "we& #39;re all in this together", please 3/8

really think through what you are saying and what you mean. Consider disabled & elderly lives. Consider those who may not have the means to access healthcare if/when they need it (finances, transportation, etc.) Consider the black & Asian people 4/8

who are facing a lot of racism at this time for various reasons. Consider those of us who are disadvantaged here, and consider how to love us well & support us through this time. Not just in words, but in action, show us that you 5/8

truly believe we are all in this together. Listen to the marginalized right now. Don& #39;t insist that "we& #39;re all disabled right now". Don& #39;t insist on meeting physically for church or school or family gatherings (or whatever) when you& #39;re 6/8

able to meet virtually or cancel/postpone. I know that can be painful, it& #39;s painful for me even as an introvert & someone who& #39;s used to not leaving the house a lot due to chronic illness, but so many people& #39;s lives are on the line right now. 7/8

This is already a difficult, scary time for so many people all over the world. Don& #39;t make it harder on those who are at a higher risk. When you find ways to justify ableism or racism or other harms, you& #39;re saying your life is superior when it isn& #39;t. 8/8
