We’re all in this together, including the disabled

Florida may be the epicenter of COVID-19 with the number of confirmed cases skyrocketing over 500,000, but over 80% of states are seeing increased cases. While many of the young and able-bodied chafe at wearing masks and forgoing the beach, people with disabilities are concerned about having an equal shot in surviving the pandemic.

We who live in the community are appalled by the carnage in nursing homes. “They’re death pits,” Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York who founded the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, has stated. “They’re crowded and they’re understaffed.” Roughly half of all virus deaths in Florida are linked to nursing homes.

The death count is made worse by prejudice and "quality of life" bias against the handicapped. as Sarah Palin predicted: Death panels.

“All in this together?”

Americans aren’t “together” on anything.

[FlyFisher]

If we’re all in this together, why haven’t any teachers, state, county, city workers been laid off? Once again I’m being lied to.

[JerryBlackwell]

They are heroes don’t you know?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Red Green : "We're all in this together."

I hate this “we’re all in this together” BS. Typical socialist lingo.
