TW/CW/CN - COVID19

If I were to contract the virus, I'd probably be someone they'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

I don't want to be all doom and gloom about this, but I don't want to ignore reality either. Everyone who has already died to this virus had a life that mattered, just like everyone who'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're all in this together", please 3/8

able to meet virtually or cancel/postpone. I know that can be painful, it's painful for me even as an introvert & someone who's used to not leaving the house a lot due to chronic illness, but so many people'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'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're saying your life is superior when it isn't. 8/8
