the genocide of palestine is a mass disabling event. if you said this about COVID, you need to be saying it now, too. you cannot only care when there are dead. you must care about the living - the suffering and the disabled, too.

this is one of the most grave examples of what disabled activists mean when we say that our suffering does not mean we do not deserve to live. giving voice to suffering and uplifting those speaking on it does not mean disabled people should not exist.

from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. and so will all her disabled people. they will live - even the dead will live on in the survivors. we must do everything in our power for there to be as many survivors as possible.

(everybody knows the the steep drop in early 2020 is because huge numbers of disabled people were among the first to die when the pandemic started, right?)

There's no coming back from this. There is no justification. This will always be their legacy. The world will never forget this and I won't let it.

#people who harm children don't deserve to have them. #I said this about what happened to the migrant children in the detention centers on the u.s/Mexico border #and I'll say it about what's happening to Palestinian children. #may both the nation-states responsible for these international atrocrities against children face the deepest consequences #dismemberment #amputation #mass disabling event #mass paedocide #violence against children #palestine #gaza #gaza genocide #disability #disability justice #war crimes #israel

Everything I’ve been trying to help people understand for the last three years, with bonus expertise science that I don’t have:

“From the moment humanity learned of the novel coronavirus, uncertainty swirled. SARS-CoV-2, named for its terrifying viral cousin, seemed to be even worse than SARS: more deadly, more transmissible, better at evading detection. A singular question arose in the minds of two very different classes of people: “How do we survive this?” For one of those classes, the question was literal: how do we avoid being killed by a disease that seems to be spreading and killing invisibly and indiscriminately? For the other class, the question being asked in boardrooms and capitols was really: “Could this dislodge our grip on power?””

From the report by Beth Mole, posted 12 Jan 2024:

But transmission is still elevated around the country. Fourteen states have ILI activity at the "very high" level in the current data, down from 22 the week before. And 23 states have "high" activity level, up from 19 the week before. (You can see the week-by-week progression of this year's flu season in the US here.) The CDC says it is monitoring for "a second period of increased influenza activity that often occurs after the winter holidays." Flu isn't the only virus that seems to be letting up a little in the data, at least for now. COVID-19 data also showed some dips, with the CDC reporting that "Despite test positivity (percentage of tests conducted that were positive), emergency department visits, and hospitalizations remaining elevated nationally, the rates have stabilized, or in some instances decreased, after multiple weeks of continual increase." The CDC speculates that some of the declines in indicators could be due to people not seeking medical care during the holidays as they would otherwise. COVID-19 wastewater activity levels remain "very high," with all regions showing high or increasing levels. The South and Midwest have the highest levels in the latest data, but there are some early indications that rises in the Midwest and Northeast may be slowing down. Meanwhile, RSV activity remains elevated, though some areas are starting to see declines. The CDC notes that it's not too late to get vaccinated against COVID-19, flu, and (for those ages 60 and over) RSV. So far, 21% of adults have received the 2023–2024 COVID-19 vaccine, including 41.5% of people ages 65 and up. Around 363,000 people have been hospitalized, and around 26,000 have died, from COVID-19, in the US since September [2023]. For flu, about 47% of adults have received their annual shot, including 74% of people ages 65 and up. On Thursday, researchers in Canada published the first estimates of flu vaccine effectiveness this season, finding the current annual shots are 61% effective against the most common strain of flu circulating in the US (influenza A(H1N1)pdm09) and 49% effective against the less common influenza A(H3N2) and 75% effective against influenza B. The CDC estimates that there have been at least 14 million flu cases, 150,000 hospitalizations, and 9,400 deaths from flu so far this season so far, the agency reported. In the first week of this year, 13 children died of flu, bringing this season's total to 40.

It's disheartening so sometimes all I can do is carve out safety for myself and others I come in contact with.
