As a disabled woman, Ginny Butcher is roughly 11 times more likely to die from coronavirus than her peers. New figures also suggest almost two-thirds of Covid-19 deaths in the UK have been disabled people. There are now calls for an inquiry.
Critics said it gave councils - who previously had an obligation to provide certain care - the power to"downgrade" provisions for disabled and elderly people."Disabled women were left wondering how they were going to get out of bed in the morning," Ginny says."With much less care, women were forced to venture outside to get groceries and other essentials, putting themselves at risk.
The statistics suggest working-age disabled women like Ginny are more than 11 times more likely to die from coronavirus than their peers. For disabled men, the death rate was 6.5 times higher than non-disabled men. Crucially, he says people with learning disabilities often develop those conditions at a relatively young age, which could explain why the difference in death rates is particularly pronounced when it comes to young disabled women.
Western nations are definitely paying a big cost for just rolling over to those who have traded basic human qualities like compassion & honour for feigned piety, even to the extent of, like the Pope, calling for love & mercy as a form of attack on love & cruel 9/11, ISIS mockery.
What a shame.
Considering the majority of people to die were elderly and/or had underlying health conditions, surely it would have been extraordinary if two-thirds of them had not been registered disabled.
Thousands of people suffering cancer, heart conditions and many other illnesses has been sacrificed.

'Disabled women were left wondering how they were going to get out of bed in the morning,' Ginny says. 'With much less care, women were forced to venture outside to get groceries and other essentials” So it’s different for MEN? I really don’t get that.
