We need to talk about institutional racism and ableism in Texas & Gov. Abbott's press conference just now about the #COVID19 phased response that will #OpenTexas starting May 1st. #txlege #hounews A thread -
Abbott repeatedly urged that we must take care of vulnerable populations, which he seemed to be using synonymously with the elderly/people over 65. The elderly are not the only people more vulnerable to this virus. Different disabilities & health statuses can make ppl vulnerable
But Abbott stressed the elderly, saying that although they were a small (maybe 25%) of those infected, they are >75% of those who die from it. So he was talking clearly about a disproportionate impact on the elderly being a reason to take extra care.
