Why do we expect them to survive on a disability benefit that keeps them below poverty line - especially when being chronically ill drives expenses up?
I spoke to a “friend” about this & was shocked by the response 🧵/1

Allowing repeated and deliberate infection of the population with the SARS2 virus is going to break us:
Literally in terms of death and disability, economically as there won’t be the workers/spenders, socially as families become divided and morally once we realise what we’ve done.

Please do this! It's great the government is going to send people free COVID tests again. But we also need them to send people free N95 masks.
Urge the White House and Congress to Provide Free N95 Masks!

I've just had a phone call from a colleague who has supported three families this year where the spread of secondary cancers has been described by doctors as 'surprisingly quick'. I know of two this year myself. Is this a thing?
