I may have just sent an email to a professional DEI mailing list abt how in person & hybrid events are harming disabled ppl & had someone respond w “I’ve traveled & not got sick & also I’m an extrovert & we did one badly org online event so they suck & zero COVID not good”
Thank you ADHD & other psych issues re not keeping my mouth shut & #KnivesOutSpoonies bc I may have then sent a reply that “personal preferences do not trump the need for changing behavior so it doesn’t actively harm ppl. This is a DEI group. This is DEI 101.”
Scientists: anecdotes are not data
Also scientists: I traveled & didn’t get COVID so in person in a pandemic is ok actually

I think one big thing that nondisabled ppl have willfully resisted understanding for 2+ yrs now is how lack of COVID precautions in spaces disabled ppl are physically not present in still impact us. So staying home & online options are not the solution.

COVID unsafe activities anywhere are an issue bc high COVID transmission still impacts those of us who are housebound. We still need to get medical care & interact w home health caregivers or family & that means we can still be exposed esp bc asymptomatic transmission exists.
Another way is how ppl who help us, like medical staff, getting COVID means our access to stuff we need to live is reduced thru issues such as staffing shortages at medical facilities. So even if we don’t get COVID we may not get necessary care for other conditions.
