As someone who is both disabled and immunocompromised, this means a lot. Hearing people say "oh, it's only the disabled that get sick and die", it's like, what, my life is worth nothing to you? You don't care if I die? It's like people don't realize that you are talking about ACTUAL PEOPLE. And besides, my disabilities are invisible - if I'm having a good day, you'd NEVER realise that I have serious disorders.

[@andreaacosta272685]

I know I’m super late but yeah it sucks that people are selfish like that. Their negligence about the people around them sucks. I hated seeing guys on insta comment that the sick people would be the first ones to go, that they’re healthy and don’t need a mask. And then the antivaxers who didn’t want their kids yo be vaccinated for school. (Yet in order for their kids to attend school they need, polio, chicken pox and other vaccines). But sorry just me ranting lol

[@acrylicasthetic8980]

Felt this so hard! Covid wrecked my immune system! Long Covid caused autoantibodies to produce in my body, which means flu or similar infections can literally kill me! Same thing with my chemical intolerance to otc’s! It increases my risk of complications because I can’t take any medications! Edit: I also almost forgot to mention the constant joint pain and weakness. Long Covid can cause a lot more problems than people realize! Mask up during high and medium case levels! Get vaccinated if able!

[@CarynCode]

Zach is awesome. Not that the others aren't, but he's the only one I've been aware of. He's been very real about his health issues, without being preachy. Check him and the other Try Guys out.

[@annielongoria]

I hate to say it, but only 200,000 deaths at the end of this pandemic would really be a better case scenario for us, even though it's still a tragic loss. The US is huge compared to most other countries. We rank 3rd highest in population only behind China and India, at 331,002,651 total people. That's one country being almost half of Europe's entire population. So it makes sense that statistically more people here will contract the virus or die from it compared to other countries. I've been keeping track of the charts and numbers reported on www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ . The US is 1st in both total cases and total deaths. We have over 650,000 more cases than the next highest case totals, and 20,000 more deaths than the next highest death totals. But if you compare each of the top several country's number infected to their total population, then the US's infection rate is in the low-mid range. Many countries have a lower infection rate, but a lot of others have even higher rates than we do despite us having way more total case numbers. Also, if you arrange the charts based on 'Deaths per 1Mil Pop', then surprisingly the US ranks 15th at 144 deaths per 1 million population. It's not great, and we'd preferably be lower down on that ranking, but it's still better than the countries who have between 1,100 - 200 deaths per 1M pop. Especially considering we have 100s more million people than those other countries. But honestly, nobody really knows how many people are going to catch this virus or die of it. The numbers are changing every single day, so every prediction they've given is just pure conjecture. Even scientist's and expert's absolute best educated guesses are probably going to be wrong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that as bad as things are now, I truly believe that things could be MUCH worse, and I hope it never gets to that. So yea, I think 200,000 could be considered a "success" rate while still being absolutely awful and tragic.

[@jesuschrist4752]

When the predicted amount of deaths by this point was up in several millions category, technically it is a net win. Not saying that 200k deaths is ideal, but its better that what we all were expecting

[@itsjustnadia]

And it sounds even worse when you think about how the Pontic genocide at the hands of the Turks came to a number of about 500.000 people that is not far away from the number of deaths from the coronavirus. And how many have died worldwide because of lack of protective measures?

When Jessica said that getting diagnosed was such a relief, I felt that on a deeper level. It kinds goes both ways. You're relieved, but also, a ton of things is dropped on you and that is not very relieving, it's the opposite. I'm also currently waiting to hopefully get diagnosed with yet another disease, and the feeling of insecurity and anxiety that comes with that is terrible. I've been on the waitlist for so long, but now I'm finally nearing my appointment.

[@mystic499]

Anastasia Germain mine is not a Disease but a mental illness well more than one mine are adhd and anxiety I was bullied for not paying attention and having panic attacks during school it was such a relief when I was diagnosed and that it was not my fault and that I wasn’t being too sensitive I wish you well.

[@AgnetheGali]

I remember when I found Jessica's channel, I was suffering from terrible pain in all my body but I was procrastinating going to the doctor cause xmas was near and I didn't want to ruin it for the family in case it was bad news. I actually wrote to her saying I was scared and that I felt like if I didn't have a diagnosis I could pretend I didn't have a problem. Turns out when I finally got my lupus diagnosis I was glad that I was able to make the pain go away with medication, and when I found out it comes with depression and chronic fatigue it was relieving to know it wasn't really my "fault" to be a sad lazy potato who fell asleep anywhere (craziest one: at my boss' office during a meeting while standing, not even sitting, I fell to the floor)

[@dexa6623]

Good luck with your appointment! Hope everything turns out well, and you and your doctors can figure it out! And don't feel alone in this. I think this is something that most people with a significant health issue feels. I have 5 diagnosed conditions, and 3 more in the process of diagnosis, treatment, and hopefully for two, curing. It's so terrifying knowing something's wrong, and also, so validating knowing that you have a reason for your experiences.

I live in the GTA (but not Toronto) and my best friend/coworker is half Chinese, born and raised in Canada, never left the country even to travel. Taking the bus she’s gotten so many ignorant comments, at work one day a customer outright asked her if she was Asian and she said she was half Chinese not thinking anything of it, and they started asking her if she should be at the Home Depot “spreading her disease” around. Every one of our coworkers were pissed. Lucky for them they left (in fear from my friend solely because of their racism) before any of the managers could show up because they would have been banned. Managers told her in the future, don’t even respond just immediately call out for a manager, that she should not be dealing with that.

Nowadays we live about 2,500 miles away from each other, as we both moved after highschool, but maintain contact just the same. She told me it’s hard for her because many people give up on having a friendship with her because of her illness. Isolation isn’t easy for anyone, especially for the chronically Ill.

Cancer wise I’m in remission but I’m still dealing with a lot of issues from radiation and transplant that still have me disabled and at risk of catching literally anything. I can say with 100% honesty that cancer never scared me as much as right now and I almost died in the icu once. At least cancer has treatment, not everyone is as lucky as me to survive after treatment and I know that but we barely know anything about covid-19. When people like me get it there’s not much hope of fighting it off or recovering and that has me scared for my life anytime I see my neighbors outside when I’m sitting in my yard even tho were more than 6 feet apart. I wish the people who are demanding everything get re opened and think that I’m willing to die for the economy could see everything through my eyes.

[@asterismos5451]

I saw a wonderful thing about how "the economy exists to serve people and people don't exist to serve the economy." At the end of the day you have to realize that the economy is just something we have built to function as a society and is not inherently necessary for the survival of our species. The survival of humanity though, is necessary for the survival of the economy. Even if it weren't, what good is an economy that only benefits the young and healthy while everyone else is left to die? The interviewees make great points about how these "economy first" people are in fact incredibly wrong about what will happen if people go back to work, but really I think that isn't the point of why that mindset is so harmful. You can't let the vulnerable die just so the powerful can survive. In this case it's ableism and ageism and classism (since the people who are in most harm are minimum wage workers rather than CEOs who can work remotely) but this idea is one that justifies genocides, slavery, and so many more awful things we have seen throughout history.

arguments: 1 covid 19 is suspected to have severe long term effects even in mild cases, doctors have found patients who have recovered with severely damaged lungs 2 viruses can mutate. and so might covid 19. we might not be able to get herd immunity, when the virus mutates too fast 3 we do not know, for how long people are immune after having recovered. it could just be a couple of months. in combination with 2, we could have an ongoing, never ending pandemic sort of like we already have with the flu. 4 are your parents anti old german nazis? good. tell them weighing up people's lives in money is literally what nazis did with sick and disabled people. and they killed those sick and disabled people "that cost the economy" in a programm calles euthanasia. Zach is right. Going for herd immunity IS genocide by neglect.

The dollar store in my area is doing a thing where, for the first hour they're open, only elderly and those at risk are allowed in the store. I went in there one day and had so many elderly people glaring at me and it's like... I'm so deeply sorry that my asthma and diabetes isn't visible for you to tell I'm considered at risk. Also was on the phone with my mental health case manager near the start of this pandemic and I mentioned something about being at risk and she literally scoffed and asked "how are you considered at risk?".

The whole "you dont look sick" statement should never ever be said to an immunocompromised/disabled person. I have crohns disease and am on a medication that suppresses my immune system and allows me to work and live my life, but to everyone around me i dont look sick. If I could turn myself inside out and compare myself to a healthy person, i guarantee it would not be an argument. Also I can completely relate to the paranoia Ned was talking about. Sometimes I feel like i'm being too cautious and other times I dont feel like im being cautious enough. Its a truly vicious mental cycle that is not fun to deal with. Thank you so much for sharing this video Anthony. This is a topic that isnt discussed enough.

I have had several panic attacks and many days of absolute fear. I am in pretty extreme isolation since I had inadverntant contact with an infected tourist (I work as a tour guide) and that was Feburary 27th. I do not leave my home except to walk my dog. I avoid contact with every other human being besides my husband. My hands are a mess from constant hand washing. I spent two hours yesterday disinfecting my grocery delivery. I bring disinfectant whipes every time I leave my apartment to disinfect my door knob, the elevator buttons, the front door knob, my mail box.... I also have no idea when I will be able to go back to work, let alone safe to go back to work. I current have daily panic attacks becuase my parents are in legal quarantne due to contact with an infected person and are awaiting their corona test results. When people ask me how I am doing I just say "ok enough" becuase at least I am not dead or infected but really, this is daily torment.

@Kay Brucker don't stop there. Second, third, tenth opinion... until you feel safe and understood. Thank God I didn't settle with my previous doctors. I had 4 of them. Then, one day, when I was about to go under exploratory surgery on my spine, one of the team's Mds suggested I might be immunocompromised. (FYI I also have scoliosis, so for many years they told me my pain was from that, but I shouldn't feel that much pain because "scoliosis doesn't hurt") they stopped the surgery that instant. They were right, scoliosis might not hurt, but my real condition wasn't just that. Be strong and don't doubt yourself and don't ignore your struggle
