#highriskcovid19 — Public Fediverse posts

You’re being a leader in caring about disabled & #immunocompromised people Don’t be afraid to stand out 😷 🧵 2/2 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisntOver #MasksSaveLives #MasksWork #N95sWork #N95sSaveLives #KN95sSaveLives #KN95sWork

Seeing a mask doesn’t “salt the vibes” It does the opposite It reminds me that there ARE people out there that care about their own health and #immunocompromised / disabled people’s health #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

When people say “COVID isn’t a big deal”, what they really mean is… My ableist & health supremacist views are more important than #immunocompromised / disabled people’s experiences & that means I don’t believe it’s necessary to wear a mask to protect them #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

Advocacy opportunity 📣 A human rights complaint is in progress against Fraser Health Authority, regarding a policy banning patients and visitors from wearing N95 masks 😬

This is a class complaint, meaning it’s on behalf of a group/class of people: in this case, those at higher risk for severe COVID-19.

If you fall into that group, and were asked to remove your N95 in favour of a surgical mask at a Fraser Health facility when accessing care in 2021-22, please reach out to lenapatsa on Twitter or BlueSky, or email amoore[at]clasbc.net. Your support is CRITICAL to move this complaint to the next stage.

And be sure to share widely to reach folks who were affected!

1. You’re more #HighRiskCOVID19 than you realize. 2. None of us are safe until all of us are safe, especially when it comes to COVID and Avian flu and other viruses that have “pandemic potential”. 🧵 2/2 #StopMaskBans #NoMaskBans #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #MasksSaveLives #MasksWork

Reminding #disabled & #immunocompromised & chronically ill people of our inherent worth is not wrong It’s a NECESSITY #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #StopMaskBans

People often don’t think about or even purposely ignore #immunocompromised people or our #accommodations or #accessibility needs Keep reminding them that you exist 😷 Keep reminding them that your life matters 😷 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #MasksSaveLives

Something that health privileged people do: Thinking & telling others that they’re an ally to #immunocompromised people, while in REALITY they’re actually harming us, silencing us, and wishing us to 💀 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic

One of the easiest ways to combat ableism against immunocompromised people is to wear a mask in public spaces It's not too late to start again if you've stopped 🧵 3/3 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #StopMaskBans #MasksSaveLives #COVIDisNotOver

The answer to #ableism should NOT be to downplay or erase our identities, but to REMIND people that we have worth We ARE worthy 🧵 3/3 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #StopMaskBans #MasksSaveLives #COVIDisNotOver

It seems like you’re trying to erase our identity We ARE #disabled / #immunocompromised / chronically ill You do NOT get to decide how we choose to express that, or build community or explain why we wear a mask in public 🧵 2/2 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #StopMaskBans

“We were all in this together” until certain people decided to deny science & put their political ideology above saving lives They were always there, but they were waiting for permission from their favourite politicians to abandon #immunocompromised people #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

If an #immunocompromised person tells you they require certain accommodations (whether small or large, formal or informal gathering) then they DO The best approach is to listen & learn, rather than gaslighting them or minimizing COVID #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver

…Or if you DO think that, but then go: “it’s too inconvenient, #immunocompromised people shouldn’t attend anyway” 🧵 2/2 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #MasksSaveLives #BringBackMasks #COVIDisNotOver

It takes privilege to read posts online advocating for #immunocompromised rights & masking in public spaces, then scroll past & go 🤷‍♂️ or 🙉🙈 You won’t say it out loud or even type it, but you’re silently gaslighting & invalidating immunocompromised people #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

Immunocompromised lives matter By refusing to accommodate us, you’re showing us we DON’T matter 🧵 2/2 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #StopMaskBans #MasksSaveLives

When I see people wearing a mask, I see: People who care about #disabled & #immunocompromised people People who care about their own health People who care about their family’s, friends’ and community’s health #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

You never know who is “vulnerable” or “high risk” or #immunocompromised around you as it’s an INVISIBLE #disability 🧵 2/2 #StopMaskBans #MaskSaveLives #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillInApandemic

#Immunocompromised lives matter We deserve to be included & accommodated We deserve safety We deserve #accessible spaces #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #MasksSaveLives #StopMaskBans

When people casually “moved on” from COVID, they also casually & easily “moved on” from caring about #immunocompromised people Just because the government gave them permission to #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #MasksSaveLives #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

Now imagine how isolating it is being #disabled & #immunocompromised & #chronicallyill and living through an *ongoing* pandemic, having to see people’s smiles while they breathe a deadly & disabling virus into your face 🤡🙃 #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #StopMaskBans #COVIDisNotOver

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dbzmdmsaz6lkhb4tv3culzme/post/3lcjepocia22f

Seeing you wear a mask makes certain people feel “uncomfortable” 🤡 But these SAME people are those who have prioritized their OWN comfort & “convenience” over #disabled & #immunocompromised lives #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #StopMaskBans

So if you value helping others & caring about marginalized people, I hope you’re wearing a mask in public spaces It’s not too late to start again if you’ve stopped 🧵 2/2 #COVIDisNotOver #MasksSaveLives #StopMaskBans #immunocompromised #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

It doesn’t matter if most people are doing it It doesn’t matter if politicians do it It doesn’t matter if “nice” people do it It STILL doesn’t make it right #Ableism #MyDisabledLifeisWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #immunocompromised #StopMaskBans #NoMaskBans #COVIDisNotOver #BringBackMasks

Your desire for “convenience” is NOT more important than #immunocompromised lives #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #StopMaskBans

When I see smiling faces in public spaces, I see people ready to breathe a de*dly & disabling virus into #immunocompromised people’s faces. (impromptu rhyming, I’m not a poet) 😂 #COVIDisNotOver #StopMaskBans #WeAreStillinApandemic #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #HighRiskCOVID19

I woke up early this morning for my first flow cytometry test ever. Nervous about the results. And fatigued. And my anxiety is worsening my fatigue. :sadness:

#pwME #HighRiskCovid19 #Spoonie #SpoonieLife

*cries in immunocompromised freelancer*

We both tested this morning. Identical results.

DAMMIT, I’m angry. Hubby’s work has required him to fly & take road trips all over the place; with so many ppl pretending that Covid is over, this was bound to happen despite how careful he’s been.

We’re both high risk. This is so dangerous for us.

On top of everything else about this, hubby will have to miss a week-long, PAID training session that he’s been waiting literally a decade to take. It would have certified him to teach classes on an additional area of expertise, so = more earning opportunities.

We miss out on this week’s pay AND the future income the training would have enabled.

He can’t work this week, and I’m still too sick to work for more than brief bursts.

We MAY have enough on his paycheck for us to make March rent, but there’s not much for anything else. Right now we’re too sick to cook, so we’ve got to order in anyway.

Haven't gotten any help in days. I know we're all struggling, but if you can reblog the above post or give even $1 I'd be so grateful! Thank you!

If you have more severe side effects like me, it's still probably worth it, but of course talking to your doctor(s) and doing your own research using reputable sources is key.

And vaccines aren't our only way out of this pandemic.

Whatever choice you make, I hope it's the right one for you, and that you keep you and your community safe. There are multiple ways to do that. 💕

#HighRiskCovid19 #pwME #spoonies #spoonielife

If you haven't gotten your bivalent yet, maybe my experience will help convince you to do so 😊

I usually have a very intense reaction to any kind of vaccine. NOT an allergic reaction. Just my immune system being a drama king (fever, fatigue, arm rash, all the usual stuff they tell you about, but dialed up to 11).

That isn't what happened this time ⬇️

The next project I’m going to start after trying to systemize the mutual aid network (without functioning like charities)

is a #COVIDsafe citizens coalition.

We may be the only ones masking in some areas, in others it’s half the population. We don’t need to wait for the government to change what we can.

I HATE THE PLAGUE

I WANT TO TRAVEL THAT’S HOW I MAKE FRIENDS 😭😭😭

Why won’t the world mask ventilate open windows update the vaccine and do stuff outside.

Those free #Covid tests that the gov sends out? How accurate are the results?

I've felt terrible for a couple of days (cough, fatigue, now also headache); I'm concerned bc I'm supposed to be caregiver for my VERY high risk Mom in 2 days.

Covid test tonight is negative, but I don't know if that's correct.

She's 86, had at least two confirmed Covid cases (both of which put her in the hospital), and is in extremely frail health overall. I don't want to risk exposing her, because it could be deadly.

But I'm the only person available to stay with her on Thursday, because my brother and his ex (who's actually been great at helping with Mom since Dad passed) have to be at an appointment.

I live with multiple #DynamicDisablity (ies) including #FND , #CRPS , #ADHD , #Fibromyalgia (and a few others!). The #NEISVoid has been an incredible support. I’m #HighRiskCovid19 and recovering from a recent infection. I’m apart of the #NeurodiverseSquad . 2/2

In other news, my brain goes to autopilot when I’m crocheting with granny stitch and doesn't seem to take up much energy! My arms still get sore from the movement, but it’s so nice to have something creative to do that doesn’t zap my energy. I’ve had extreme fatigue after Covid and haven’t been able to do much (including watching tv) so this feels like a win!

#Crochet #NEISVoid #HighRiskCovid19

Ok I miss my boyfriend now.

This is the longest we've been apart in 9 years, even including when we lived in different cities.

Being #HighRiskCovid19 is not fun.
