Certain communities have been impacted to a much greater extent, and the community of people with disabilities have been dealt with an extra layer of challenges. While life has slowed in recent weeks, the effort around people with disabilities has only picked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf anything, COVID-19 has made us busier than we would be at this time of year,\u201d said Carrie England, the Executive Director at the State Independent Living Council (SILC).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the coveted services that people with disabilities have depended on have been altered more now than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 has impacted the disabled community in many ways,\u201d England said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I could possibly capture it all. It has impacted the way they live, work, and play. It has impacted how they obtain services, where they obtain services, and has interrupted medical care. For some it has meant a complete change of life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the coronavirus has spread through the state of California since early March, ventilator rationing has been at an all-time high, and this issue is not new for many people with disabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=366%2C487&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44002\" width=\"366\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?w=750&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=188%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=360%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=370%2C493&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=185%2C247&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=740%2C987&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=20%2C27&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=400%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ligia-Andrade-Zuniga_web.jpg?resize=36%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><figcaption>Ligia Andrade Z\u00fa\u00f1iga is the vice president of the Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities. Courtesy: Ligia Andrade Z\u00fa\u00f1iga<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the concerns our community had was the medical rationing,\u201d said Ligia Andrade Z\u00fa\u00f1iga, the vice president of the Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities. \u201cA lot of people use ventilators to breathe normal for their everyday life. So, when there\u2019s a shortage of that type of equipment, people are asked to give up their equipment or to donate any unused equipment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with everything going on, Z\u00fa\u00f1iga did not know the exact number of people who were asked to give up their equipment, if at all. There is no denying that coronavirus has been problematic, and it has uncovered certain concerns within our society. The Disability Rights California organization voiced that in their letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom back in late April.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has exposed long-standing racial and economic disparities in access to health care, technology, jobs, communication and social services,\u201d read the letter. \u201cThese disparities intersect with disability, doubly disadvantaging adults and children with disabilities from immigrant communities, other communities of color and poor families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been evident in the numbers released by local counties. In Santa Clara County, the Bay Area\u2019s largest county, COVID-19 cases are slanted towards minorities. As of May 16, 39 percent of cases are Latinx, and 33 percent of the county\u2019s deaths are Latinx. Z\u00fa\u00f1iga noted that such numbers could be due to a whole bunch of scenarios that all lead to oppression towards minorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt could have something to do with, you know, systemic oppressions of people of color when it comes to inadequate health care\u2026when it comes to documentation, like if it\u2019s somebody that\u2019s undocumented and they\u2019ve been working under the table, they\u2019re not going to qualify (for medical care),\u201d she said. \u201cAlso, some people are afraid of asking for help because they don\u2019t want to compromise their immigration status. If they\u2019re trying to get their citizenship or anything like that because the Trump administration has said that anybody that\u2019s eliciting or that receives any type of government assistance will no longer qualify to get their citizenship. So, that\u2019s disturbing, especially right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coronavirus pandemic has brought a plethora of issues to light for the disabled community, but there could be reason to believe that this could lead to advocacy progress in the future. When asked if this could lead to more awareness for the disabled community following the pandemic, England showed optimism that some positive could come out of these shelter-in-place orders that were enacted to stem the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople with disabilities have been arguing for decades that telework as an accommodation would work,\u201d England said. \u201cCompanies have pushed back against this. Now that we are all teleworking, this may offer opportunities for people with disabilities to work from home without the significant pushback previously received. We hope that teleworking opportunities for people with disabilities will continue once the pandemic is resolved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Editor\u2019s note: Grady Duggan is a journalism student in SF State\u2019s Journalism 575 Community Media this spring.
