Pandemic Pal ♿

We are a disabled-owned website helping people at high risk during the COVID-19 outbreak find face masks and other safety supplies.

[Pandemic Pal ♿ @pandemic_pal]

Just so y'all know, I'll be sharing links to our site here and there, but the main purpose of our Twitter is to boost the voices of disabled & chronically ill people sharing stories & speaking truth about how #COVID19 affects our community. So please follow us to learn things!

@DSlotnik @kseelye To @kseelye: I noticed you clearly referenced my article about Karen Killilea without credit for my original ideas expressed therein. As a disabled professional writer, I am requesting a link to my article from the obituary. I deserve credit for my work.

They left disabled people out of the COVID stimulus bill again.

Even as hospitals say they won’t treat us the government still wants a hand in killing us.

@Rookie_425 @banagorist @geekbabe @JoeBiden This is part of the reason for the so-called shortage -- facilities are hesitant to work with new suppliers even though they can prove respirators are legit. And their people pay the price by wearing the same worn out mask for weeks.

[Pandemic Pal ♿ @pandemic_pal]

@sumwhut @AlexBerenson It's a supply chain issue, and in some cases facilities are being cheap. :( N95 masks are readily available to buy now.

@Cleavon_MD Sounds like Albany Med needs to be held accountable for the harm they are causing to Doctors and Nurses. N95 masks ARE available, they are just refusing to buy enough for you!

@JSn0wd0n @pmagn @bowmacwood @SteveatCCPR @keithbaldrey It is more complicated than that. N95s are readily available in the USA now.

@DarrenBolme @SnapbackKid @banagorist @geekbabe @JoeBiden Anyone can (and should) buy N95 masks. Cloth masks DO help but of course N95s are more effective. Teachers, grocery workers, anyone in public a lot and/or with high-risk medical conditions should be wearing them. https://t.co/Nmv7QS2Rbc

[Pandemic Pal ♿ @pandemic_pal]

@msnavlin @Politidope @CMargaronis True, but you can do a basic fit test yourself if you don't work in a medical facility. And there are a couple dozen different kinds readily available at this point.

[Pandemic Pal ♿ @pandemic_pal]

@cheung_md Hospitals/clinics are at fault here. At this point, the "shortage" is about supply chain issues and medical facilities being cheap, not an actual lack of masks. https://t.co/Nmv7QS2Rbc

[Pandemic Pal ♿ @pandemic_pal]

@CMargaronis @Politidope People think N95 masks are hard to find but they've been available to the public for months. The more people wear them, the faster we'll get control of this thing.

There is nothing more important, IMHO, for a possible Biden admin than ignoring the Dem wonks who obsess over deficits, the ones who all got it flatly wrong last time, and focus like a laser on immediate concrete material improvements in people lives and full employment.

@DeanJC420 Why not just bring back the Plague Doctor costumes while we're at it!
