Latest stats: 6 in 10 COVID deaths were disabled people .
Nearly a year of disabled people facing the highest risk, without appropriate support. We can become almost numb to the stats. But every one of these represents a life needlessly lost. [THREAD]

To protect health.
To protect finances.
To support families with disabled children.
We won't stop being appalled by these figures. We won't stop campaigning. We deserve better. #WontBeForgotten.
