"This year a focus will be training people with disabilities to work in the field of emergency preparedness. The recent fires in LA, where some residents with disabilities burned to death, showed the tragic consequences when people with disabilities are not fully included in disaster response planning."

Kev is one of 6 main characters in the wheelchair basketball comic I'm working on. He's is a retired wheelchair rugby player - hence why his chair looks so different to the other characters I've drawn so far - and when his wife (who's art is coming soon) started a wheelchair basketball team, but was struggling to get the numbers to actually play, he signed up too.
Personality wise, Kev is the team's jokey uncle and is meant to be a direct foil to the more serious characters on the team, like Ruby. He's already done the whole "serious athlete thing" and while he enjoys the game, at the end of the day, just there to have fun and support his wife, and remind the younger members to not get too wrapped up in it all.
He's a quad amputee (through the palms on his hands, above the knee on his legs) and is missing a good chunk of his tail too, making him a low-pointer on the court. Low point players are those who's disabilities impact their ability to play more severally, and they usually play in more defensive and supportive rolls than high-point players.

“If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained, global wave of sickness.”

I wrote a guest article for Healthy Debate that looks at why we need mandatory masks in healthcare, why surgical masks aren’t enough, and how the mounting threats to public health are putting lives at risk.

If you’re a healthcare worker, mask up.

Show us you take your oath to “do no harm” seriously

Healthy Debate · ‘We might die because you won’t wear a mask’: A plea to health-care workers - Healthy DebateLet’s start protecting people in health-care settings as that’s where people should have the best understanding of a viral threat.

As Mikey Erhardt points put:

'Disabled people are not a scapegoat for a failing economy; we are a community that deserves improved opportunities & employment for those who wish to work.... the benefits system isn't just some pipeline into the world of work – it's a vital piece of social infrastructure that protects us from the sharpest edge of our unequal society'!

Like previous PMs, Keir Starmer cannot see this, and so is happy to cut benefits (again).
