We hear a lot about “flattening the curve” these days. Here’s what this means to me (click to enlarge):

If hospitals are overwhelmed, my kid will not be high priority. My kid is disabled. If there are a limited number of ICU beds, for example, my kid very likely won’t get one.

So, thank you to everyone who is helping out. Everyone who is taking this seriously. It’s very, very tough, I know. But this is literally life and death for people like my kid.
