Covid is not a “single issue” 1

Every 4 Covid deaths = 1 US child loses a parent/caregiver

Healthcare staff shortages risk ALL patient lives

MILLIONS of newly disabled folks are entering a system that was already failing to meet needs

Life expectancy ⬇️

Domestic violence ⬆️

Covid is not a “single issue” 2

4 million workers are out of workforce from #LongCovid

#Hospitals are unsafe for EVERYONE who needs them

Opportunistic infections ⬆️ due to #immune damage

Many #vulnerable folks are into year 4 of isolation

#Schools are even more unsafe

Covid is not a “single issue” 3

#Covid causes #brain damage, leading to ⬆️ dementia, attention issues, human errors - there has been a record increase in traffic fatalities

#SuddenDeaths ⬆️

#Bullying #harassment #assault of vulnerable people ⬆️

Accessibility in #healthcare ⬇️

Covid is not a “single issue” 4

Your beloved #pets can catch/die from #COVID19

Public transit folks NEED to live/work = unsafe

Air travel = unsafe

Access to necessities (food, groceries, DMV, voting, education, post, doctors, vet) = unsafe

Home repairs/maintenance = unsafe

Covid is not a “single issue” 5

Car maintenance - unsafe

Isolation: not only detrimental to #mentalhealth FOURTH YEAR IN, but increasingly expensive

Traffic stops = unsafe

School events/gatherings = unsafe

#Covid19 contributed to 25% of maternal deaths in 2020 and 2021.

So don't call me a "single-issue" voter when it's Covid.

And don't try to lay guilt on me as an isolated, vulnerable person with #LongCovid for refusing to vote for more of this sh*t.
