URGENT: Yudith's husband was detained in a particularly heinous raid by ICE agents: they pretended to be doctors to get into their home 🤬

While we all fight to stop ICE actions during #COVID19, please DONATE & RT to help support this family if you can.

Yudith is under intense pressure right now. She's supporting a family of 6 children, one of whom has special needs & paying legal fees to get her husband out of detention.

So many of y'all are giving so much during this crisis. If you can, please give to help Yudith thru this
We're floored y'all...Yudith asked us to thank all of you who donated. The initial fundraising goal of $2500 doesn't cover much more than rent + utilities for one month. Every additional dollar you're giving will go to her to keep a roof over her family + legal expenses
We wanna note we don't believe in violent/carceral punishment for anyone. We do believe ICE must be dismantled & all imprisoned people must be freed especially in this moment. Use this toolkit to urge your electeds to #FreeThemAll4PublicHealth
Y'all if you're still in a mood to give, please check out our fundraiser for a DC-based South Asian elder in need of support through #COVID19!

In DC, new emergency relief measures don't cover undocumented folks so community support is crucial!

Here we go, folx. As the election nears, immigration raids across the country are likely to increase. Regardless of timing -- we need to be ready to defend our communities. Here are FOUR WAYS you can help in case of mass immigration raids in the DC-metro area. THREAD
1⃣ Take a moment to save our ICE Emergency Hotline # to your phone contacts: 202-335-1183. CALL if you see or are credibly aware of ICE activity. Live dispatchers pick up calls 9AM-9PM; leave a confidential message at other times. PLEASE RT this graphic widely!
2⃣ If you've been trained as a Sanctuary DMV rapid responder, expect a text from us. If you want to be trained/need a refresher, we hope to hold an emergency rapid response training as early as this weekend. Details to come. Rapid responders film ICE & support folx after a raid.

So I’m hearing many myths about #COVID-19 and would like to quickly clear the record.

Coronavirus will go away in Sumer months.

Wrong. Previous pandemics didn’t follow weather patterns plus as we enter summer, there will be winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Virus is global.
Myth #2: In summer, the virus will spread more due to mosquito bites.

Wrong. This infection is spread via respiratory droplets, not blood. Mosquitos don’t increase spread.
Myth #3: If you can hold your breath for ten seconds without discomfort, you don’t have COVID.

Wrong: Most young patients with Coronavirus will be able to hold their breaths for much longer than 10 seconds. And many elderly without the virus won’t be able to do it.

Putting my sociologist hat on. For those who are tired of the science, the numbers, and the really big words; I wanna explain this in layman's term.

The problem is not so much the virus, the problem is US (double entendre)
The U.S. has a completely different cultural system than China. We are not as community-focused, family oriented, or obedient. We're not discussing if that's good or bad, only talking about WHAT IS.

What we lack in those 3 areas directly contributes to the spread of #COVIDー19
Americans don't know HOW to self-quarantine because those 3 factors are not top of mind. We don't inherently think about our neighbors. A lot of us don't even know their names.

We're not thinking about elders b/c we weren't taught that taking care of them was OUR responsibility.

Let's be clear on this:

The people who voted for something that left us with fewer doctors/nurses than we would have had, just before a deadly pandemic where we're going to be short on doctors/nurses, don't get to complain that those who warned against it, are pointing that out.

Saying now's not the time to talk about Brexit weakening the NHS during #covidー19uk is like saying you can't talk about gun laws after mass-shootings.

The effects of Brexit will be negotiated THIS YEAR. Not talking about the CLEAR EVIDENCE of what's at stake would be STUPID!

This is an incredibly inaccurate headline and article.

Bottom line: the Canadian government - led by Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau - has been acting to protect Canadians since the very beginning of #COVIDー19.

Here's a bit of a timeline... 1/
When the disease became a real concern for Canadians abroad, the government acted to get hundreds of Canadians home safely. 2/
rcinet.ca/en/2020/01/29/…
During that time, Canada's top public health official, Dr. Tam, (@CPHO_Canada) and the Minister of Health, @PattyHajdu, began sharing with Canadians the best public health practices and measures to follow.

And they still are. 3/

This is a thread about why it is absolutely essential that we get people out of jails, prisons, & immigration detention during the #COVIDー19 pandemic. It will include information & demands for how to #StopCOVID19inJails .

The health of people inside & all of us depends on it.
This piece by @premaldharia explains how #COVIDー19 could spark a humanitarian crisis inside prisons and jails. slate.com/news-and-polit… #StopCOVID19inJails
Jails and prisons are the perfect incubators for #COVIDー19. Health care in these facilities is often abysmal. This article from @nhbaptiste explains what jails and prisons should be doing to improve access to healthcare. motherjones.com/politics/2020/… #StopCOVID19inJails

Six new #COVIDー19 in bc
2 related to Iran travel
2 in 60s from princess cruise 11-21 feb trip - Fraser health region - stable but in hosp for observation
More may test positive who were on that cruise
2 most concerning - residents of Lynn valley care centre
#bcpoli
Dr Bonnie Henry says the two positive tests in the care home leading to large investigation into residents and workers and what contact they’ve had.
And there are restrictions on that facility now for who is in and out.
#bcpoli #COVIDー19
Four recovered
The icu patient stable
2 I
All others in isolation
Also those with contact in isolation
“We are in an extraordinary situation” - Henry says - if you are sick stay home, keep your kids home.
But know that not everyone who is sick has #COVIDー19
