Disabled people BEEN saying this. You all sacrificed disabled people for the economy only for Billionaires and corporations to force you all into a recession anyways and for you to continue to become disabled and/or drop in the streets. Y’all won! Congratulations.
I don’t care how you spin it, people under 50 around the world are not suddenly having strokes and heart attacks and dy!ng of “natural causes,” for no reason. They are passing away from COVID complications/Long COVID.

#Selfisolation by choice is a privilege. THOUSANDS of disabled ppl are hidden away every single day, long before this virus came around. If u want tips on how to manage #Quarentine reach out to a disabled friend (online). We know how to prioritise our health over EVERYTHING.
