#PeopleWithDisabilities are excluded from multiple local emergency evacuation plans. They do not even include us. We should just wait for help or die waiting? We deserve better!

Don't fucking tell me you care about us, when you do not use your privileges to stand up for us.
If you've never been a target of #eugenics by government - you should be grateful. You should use your privileges to try to help those of us targeted by eugenicists.
Why are more of you privileged & not targeted by government eugenicis monsters not doing much to step up to speak up for us - facing erasure by eugenics, by the same governments holding power over us?
WE NEED BRAVE COMRADES!
WHERE ARE YOU?
En route to pharmacy to pickup prescription refills. A #SelfPortrait in the car.
@MegaMichelle They won't do that. They won't even buy N95s so PAPR won't ever be considered. I'm tolerated but feel ostracized at work because I'm still protecting with masks, still keep asking for proactive masking - despite being shut down on that multiple times. I'm in a very tiny minority of covid cautious folks at work & in larger local community.
Unmasked plague spreaders repeat #eugenics crap from #BonnieHenry - our evil #BCPublicHealth officer. I HATE HER.
I'm suggesting that everyone else who got similar self congratulatory emails from BC government to take time to email too & let them know those emails are just infuriating people. They don't help us to feel better. It only helps to remind us that we have not been helped but ignored for a very long time. It is not easily forgiveable to be treated like you are disposable & not worthy of getting essential medical help.
All except 1 staff is masked at Burnside Medical Office, lower level office with bad air ventilation. There are 5 other patients in waiting area & only one is masked(blue surgical mask). Mom & I are only ones here wearing N95s. We have opted to sit closer to entry/exit & around the corner from the unmasked open mouth breathers.
They searched for 4 days. And I’m not saying they shouldn’t have, I’m just really confused about why one woman’s life was worth 140 people searching for four days, but that same life isn’t worth wearing a mask in the grocery store so she doesn’t die.
I don’t understand, none of this makes sense. I hope Pepper is ok.
“The authorities found the body of the woman, Elizabeth Pollard, about 30 feet below the surface on Friday morning after they used an excavator to dig into the sinkhole in Unity Township, Pa., Trooper Steve Limani of the Pennsylvania State Police said. There was no sign of her cat, named Pepper, Trooper Limani said.
The discovery ended about four days of intensive searching that at one point involved more than 140 people, including firefighters from 25 fire departments, Trooper Limani said. Timothy Carson, the Westmoreland County coroner, said it would most likely be several weeks before his office determined the cause and manner of Ms. Pollard’s death.”

"At least mask in the places that all disabled people *have* to be, to survive; Medical settings (doctors offices, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, etc), transportation (airports, airplanes, trains, buses, etc) and grocery stores."
It's not just about you; it's about allowing disabled people to live their lives.
The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.
There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.
The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.

Gregory said the database is a good idea for some diseases, in particular for some vaccines that do protect people from infection. But when it comes to COVID-19, he said, the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission.
“Relying on vaccinations as the measure of whether people are likely or not to transmit [COVID] to vulnerable patients is a very dangerous strategy,” Gregory said.
Instead, he added, it would be best if everyone wore masks in public health settings whenever possible.
Mitigation measures such as properly worn N95s, HEPA air filtration, ventilation and avoiding high-risk areas like indoor crowded spaces are “all variant proof,” Gregory said. “No variant has evolved to circumvent an N95.”
