If you’re not immunocompromised, you might read all of this and feel helpless about what you can do to best support us. Here’s a start: Listen to immunocompromised people and understand that to practice social distancing is to practice social solidarity.
Social solidarity doesn’t only make a difference in our quality of life. Social solidarity is what is keeping me, and so many others, alive in the first place. I live in South Central Los Angeles, and I’ve been able to have all my needs met consistently because of mutual aid efforts. People safely deliver groceries and disinfectant supplies to my apartment so I can limit my chances of exposure to COVID-19.
When I watch social solidarity practiced in real time, it gives me hope. It’s proof we can do better and rely on one another. It even makes me feel safe enough to go in for a potentially life-saving bone marrow transplant in the midst of a pandemic, because I know my community has got my back.
