Targeting Asians and Asian Americans will make it harder to stop covid-19
"Though the wave of anti-Asian racism that looms in response to the global coronavirus pandemic is ugly and frightening, it is not new.

I'm disabled and need a ventilator to live. Am I expendable during this pandemic?
"It is a strange time to be alive as an Asian American disabled person who uses a ventilator. The coronavirus pandemic in the United States has disrupted and destabilized individual lives and institutions.
