Who gets medical care during the coronavirus pandemic — and what does that mean for people with disabilities? [1]
From a CBC article...
Am I worth it?
With the appearance of COVID-19, as a person with a disability, my life has suddenly taken on more significance — or should I say insignificance?
Finding myself expendable is, to say the least, alarming.
It has been slightly more than two weeks since a public health emergency was declared in Manitoba.
Recently, I have read newspaper articles from the U.K., the United States and Canada, where government and public health officials have begun floating the idea that medical care should be rationed — and given only to those individuals determined, as I interpret it, to be "worth saving."
In my opinion, disabled people were identified as disposable.
