Covid is a social justice issue.
Staying covid safe in the “you do you” era costs money. Respirators, tests, isolation, hepa filters & vaccines… the costs add up and are out of reach for many.
Long Covid is also a social justice issue.
Have no safety net? Chronic illness will be harder 🧵

We aren’t “sitting around”. We’re fighting to maintain a baseline & keep a roof over our heads /2
Juggling specialist appointments, medication schedules, fighting to be taken seriously by medical professionals intent on gaslighting and ignoring you. It takes a toll.
Being abandoned by friends & family makes it even harder /3
Many of us have special diets, additional home accommodation needs, transportation requirements & need full time care
These things all cost money - and don’t come cheap /4
Many of us have to choose between food and meds. Or healthcare and a stable roof over our heads. /5
We are less safe because other people refuse to do the bare minimum.
It costs us dearly. /6
You can’t get ahead when you’re sick and drowning financially.
You can’t keep yourself safe when you can’t afford mitigations, childcare, respirators or healthcare /7
Family has all but abandoned me, parents have 3 empty bedrooms & luxurious retirement, but wouldn't let... ⬇️
Lucky for me, the FIL changed his mind in time. 2/
