Todos las vidas, todos los cuidados

"Et encore : … quand elle emmène une personne handicapée à l’hôpital. « Ils nous les renvoient parfois sans les toucher. Ils n’ont pas l’habitude de les gérer. Certains le disent carrément : “Ces patients-là c’est pas mon truc.” »"

La #LSE debe ser una asignatura obligatoria desde primaria, así como una asignatura o tipo charlas sobre la #Discapacidad.
Para conocer la #discapacidad y no haya #discriminacion hay que empezar desde abajo.
El desconocimiento es el q discrimina. #Covid_19 #Discapacidad

But this devaluation of disabled life is how you get "triage" plans for a pandemic that are thinly veiled eugenics. This is how they decide that someone with intellectual disabilities is less worth saving – their existence is an insult in our society. It's super shitty.

Interesante nota de @YoTambien sobre los esfuerzos (nacionales e internacionales) para contabilizar cuántas personas con #discapacidad están muriendo de COVID-19. Lo único que preocupa es que sean de la sociedad civil, no del gobierno https://t.co/IVr8IvdDSx

Ah, the sweet sound of unexpected sudden discharge from mental health services with no warning, complete with copy paste of “groups to access” and “services to use” as if we’re not in the middle of a pandemic. Know for a fact several of the “suggestions” aren’t running at all.

So many pieces on how the world will be changed forever by this. So much detail in what experts can predict. So little mention of disabled people. Actually none. #CripTheVote

Please include the impact on those with disabilities and Accessibility (recently-acquired and others). Ex: my deaf sister reads lips — impossible if everyone wearing masks, I no longer have to drive my blind husband four hours to Johns Hopkins for 40 min appointment. #cripthevote

Esta pandemia de #Covid_19 no se irá rápido. Por lo menos año y medio. Las personas con algunas discapacidades tendrán un cierre más largo por los mayores riesgos que implica salir. Urge un plan emergente de apoyos. ⁦@CONADIS_MX⁩ https://t.co/sP41AllzTr

I feel like throughout this pandemic, disabled people have been saying ‘why flatten a curve when you can be ahead of it?’

— Liz Jackson (@elizejackson) April 25, 2020

This. So much this. Many people's support has drastically changed or been stopped altogether. Myself included. Covid-19 is clearly a significant issue but It's important that mental health doesn't fall by the wayside. It's just as important & now more than ever we need to listen https://t.co/uiFvlb0U4R

I am one of those people living with serious #mentalhealth problems who doesn't have psychiatric care.

I'm not on anybody's radar.

I won't appear in any statistics.

But I haven't "fallen through the gaps in provision" – I am being deliberately excluded from community services. https://t.co/Ypfhh0ULti
