The reason so many disabled/chronically ill folks in your era recognize that your pandemic isn't over isn't just that they're vulnerable to it; they know all too well that one cannot wish and pretend medical problems away. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

One of the best things we can do for the medical needs of any vulnerable group is work towards fixing the things in our society that make them vulnerable in the first place. Good medicine needs to include systemic change and vice versa. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom If manipulating and/or withholding statistics about disease was actually effective in preventing disease, I'd sign up for a stats course STAT. But wishful thinking never works against viruses. Masks and other mitigations do. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked x 5 5:32 PM · Dec 7, 2023

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Just because you are frequently denied the right to a safe medical space within your medically vulnerable needs doesn't negate that right; it means the abled and health-privileged people around you are failing to uphold your rights. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 10:39 AM · Oct 15, 2023

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom You shouldn't have to ask health care workers to mask up properly any more than you should have to ask them to wash their hands. You're right to be frustrated and concerned by their apparent lack of basic medical hygiene. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 1:29 PM · Aug 26, 2023

Actual Intersectional Disabled Friendly Pride Event!!!

OMG LOOK AT THIS! Actual intersectionality! This is the only Pride event I'm aware of anywhere in the world that's requiring masking. I'm so impressed that I'm in tears! Boston Dyke March rocks!

Share share share so that anyone able to attend can do so!

Bi people and trans people are at higher risk of long covid. @BostonDykeMarch has masks in all crowded areas. That's how you back disabled activists and community members. That's how you crush ableism." Embedded image text: ""On the March 1. We ask that you wear a mask AT ALL TIMES while on the March 2. N95, KN95, or KF94 style masks are preferred and help keep everyone safe 3. Dyke Patrol will have a limited number of masks, but please bring one On the Common While on the Common, we're asking everyone to please mask: 1. while on the grass in front of the stage 2. on the pathways 3. by the Merch tent & all tables Outside of these areas, please mask where you cannot social distance"]

'We're doing everything we can to survive': As US looks to move on from Covid-19, high risk and disabled Americans feel forgotten — CNN

Tasha Nelson's 10-year-old son held back tears when he heard the news. The two were in the car when the announcement came through the radio:

This article is so compelling-high risk folks have a choice~isolate & stay away from any public social interaction or risk a miserable death. With everyone returning to “normal,” I’ll still be isolating at home, doing all my shopping online with delivery, and wearing N95 masks with any exposure to the public. To avoid a possible death sentence, you have to give up living..it’s an awful choice. I personally, can give up eating out, and meandering through the grocery store, but it’s horrible for the immunocompromised youth…they can’t go to school, and play with their friends. It’s just devastating to them, and we still don’t have enough treatment doses to cover our high risk population, if they get sick as mitigation is stopped despite the rampant spread of COVID19.

This community of tiny homes built for the medically vulnerable homeless is the 'first of its kind'

Tiny homes have been all the rage over the last few years, especially for people who want to save money and achieve location freedom. But this community in South Nashville, Tennessee, built tiny houses for a greater purpose—to accommodate medically vulnerable citizens without a home. The Village at Glencliff (TVG) recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by District 16 Metro Councilwoman…
