rallying my east asian diaspora out here to support our south asian communities. they are the hardest by COVID-19 across canada, working precarious jobs in silence while many are also watching a crisis unfold back home with family in india. follow @SAHealthNetwork for resources
an important read by @SabiVM on the COVID-19 crisis parallels in India and places in Ontario with a large South Asian population, like Brampton:
