#stillcoviding — Public Fediverse posts

I’ve been predominantly bedridden for the last few weeks. My long covid symptoms continue to worsen. The fact that many abled folx refuse to do the simplest steps to ensure disabled survival is a celebration of eugenics and abled supremacy. I have to care for and keep my disabled child alive. Yet, I can barely care for myself. Simple tasks like eating, brushing my teeth, and getting dressed have become a chore. Whenever I mention that I have LC to non-Covid cautious folx they always find it “ironic” since I’ve been home isolating, wearing N95 masks, and only going out when necessary since the beginning of the ongoing pandemic. It’s as if it’s a way for folx to affirm their “survival of the fittest” ableist values. As mask bans become celebrated who can we count on? At this point, we can’t even receive safe medically necessary care. I’m grateful for having home medical suction, oxygen and seizure rescue meds to save my child’s life, and avoid reinfection from another traumatic AMR/ER experience. This is disabled life, this is abandonment.
I’m searching for community and collective care. If others have resources or suggestions I’d love to hear. As a yt, cis, housed disabled family, I realize we have a huge amount of privilege to dismantle. #maskban #ableism #AbledSupremacy #disabled #LongCovid #stillCOVIDing #MaskUp #eugenics #MedicalIndustrialComplex #isolation #COVID19

I just left a remote Long Covid support group that was advocating for dropping Covid mitigations, and insinuating that folx were being "too sensitive" for being frightened about catching Covid again.
One participant stated that subsequent
Covid infections didn't worsen their symptoms, and that isolating forever was ridiculous. I went off about abled supremacy and eugenics, and that disabled folx such as my child who cannot mask require others to mask to save their lives. I will never support anyone who has long covid and refuses to be covid cautious. I have observed an extensive amount of ableist exclusion in Covid groups towards disabled children, especially those who have chronic, complex medical conditions. We mask for collective care, love and solidarity, we isolate to protect ourselves and our community. #ableism #abledsupremacy #longcovid #disabledparenting #stillcoviding #mask #LongCovid #isolation #disabled
