Disability Culture with Puffin N Politics

As we all know the;

 Novel Corona Virus COVID-19 Global Pandemic  2020 has affected the entire world. Many in Disability communities across the United States share many of the same fears and concerns as we fight and attempt to dodge this deadly virus. 

 On March 16, 2020 California State Governor Gavin Newsom ordered  Individuals  age 65 and older along with  those that have  compromised immune systems and or, underlying  health conditions to stay at home, to avoid crowds, and to limit/avoid contact with others and, to  wash hands often and avoid touching your face.

Although we are aware that we must take extra precautions to stay safe and healthy, for many of us following these guidelines present major challenge.

There are some within the disability community that will have no issue or problem with locking their doors and watching from a far. 

However, there are many that just don’t have that luxury. Many who fall in the high-risk category of being age 65 and older along with  those that have  compromised immune systems and or, underlying health conditions  live at home with family who actively have to attend work or have had other demands that required them to utilize the outside world. Which makes them 100% vulnerable. 

Poverty and Homelessness are major issue across The United States  and a current crisis here in San Diego, California. Many in the high-risk category of age 65 and older along with  those that have  compromised immune systems and or, underlying health conditions are homeless and reside on the streets of San Diego, California USA without adequate housing or shelter for themselves or their families.

 Making it almost impossible to isolate themselves from others that could potentially spread the deadly Virus. 

Finding a place to live on the streets of San Diego, California USA can be a challenge, and finding an isolated space is nearly impossible. 

Keep household pets and pet spaces cleaned and wiped down often. Wipe outside pets down when returning home. 

To obtain local resources dial 211 from any landline phone or mobile cell phone in the San Diego, California USA area.

Please be safe, healthy and stay well informed…
