Ok but Jessica Kellgren-Fozard is literally a queen out of a fairytale and I can imagine her ruling an entire kingdom with elegance and I love her.
YES SHES SO LOVELY
we stan
YESSSS 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
She is the absolute best
i love her sooommeee much i got so excited when i saw her🥺
“It’s genocide by negligence”. Exactly. Here in Brazil we have the same problem, and people who are healthy and young are also dying. Please do not underestimate this. No one is replaceable or disposable.
Not to be political or anything, but your president is probably causing a lot of that. It's a really nasty situation to be in, and we can only pray that he sees sense or the virus miraculously leaves little trace
* clipe do Bolsonaro tossindo nas pessoas*
Tô só esperando um bolsominion comentar merda ✌🏼
ok but not so political now, some brazilians only really realize something when it becomes someone close to them, it's a really bad social behavior that some of us have...really sucks, I think all this situation will be over only when all those people lose someone
@erin tlgd eu só falei do brasil pq era o assunto do comentário, mas se a gnt começar a falar de ignorância estadunidense a gente vai longe...

_”It’s genocide by negligence.”_
Damn. That hit hard.
That was a great fucking phrase
and some people don't even care
Agreed. It reminded me of the "Silence = Death" messaging surrounding the lack of resources given to address the AIDS epidemic.
Except genocide means the complete annihilation of an entire people group, not just a lot of people. Wow I feel like a jerk.
Well genocides kind of work that way..
As someone who is both disabled and immunocompromised, this means a lot. Hearing people say "oh, it's only the disabled that get sick and die", it's like, what, my life is worth nothing to you? You don't care if I die? It's like people don't realize that you are talking about ACTUAL PEOPLE. And besides, my disabilities are invisible - if I'm having a good day, you'd NEVER realise that I have serious disorders.
Same
I know I’m super late but yeah it sucks that people are selfish like that. Their negligence about the people around them sucks. I hated seeing guys on insta comment that the sick people would be the first ones to go, that they’re healthy and don’t need a mask. And then the antivaxers who didn’t want their kids yo be vaccinated for school. (Yet in order for their kids to attend school they need, polio, chicken pox and other vaccines). But sorry just me ranting lol
Felt this so hard! Covid wrecked my immune system! Long Covid caused autoantibodies to produce in my body, which means flu or similar infections can literally kill me! Same thing with my chemical intolerance to otc’s! It increases my risk of complications because I can’t take any medications!
Edit: I also almost forgot to mention the constant joint pain and weakness. Long Covid can cause a lot more problems than people realize! Mask up during high and medium case levels! Get vaccinated if able!
Yep, I've had people say this to me and then get annoyed I pointed out that they just said they didn't care if I died.
The “don’t do this” disclaimer made me laugh until I realized some people legit need to be told that.
Like that couple that drank fish tank cleaner
Time stamp?I only listened to the video and not watched it directly
@@be6273 7:32
FR some people are just 💀 just why would anyone do that it's stupid
It's necessary when the President himself is saying we should look into injecting disinfectant...
"Genocide by negligence"
Wow, that's powerful
Seriously!
Words of truth
I thought so too.
“They’re talking about a quarter of a million people dying as a success rate. That is atrocious. That is disgusting. That is, you know, genocide by negligence,” - Zach
I couldn’t have said that better myself. Thank you so much
Zach is awesome. Not that the others aren't, but he's the only one I've been aware of. He's been very real about his health issues, without being preachy. Check him and the other Try Guys out.
I hate to say it, but only 200,000 deaths at the end of this pandemic would really be a better case scenario for us, even though it's still a tragic loss. The US is huge compared to most other countries. We rank 3rd highest in population only behind China and India, at 331,002,651 total people. That's one country being almost half of Europe's entire population. So it makes sense that statistically more people here will contract the virus or die from it compared to other countries.
I've been keeping track of the charts and numbers reported on www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ . The US is 1st in both total cases and total deaths. We have over 650,000 more cases than the next highest case totals, and 20,000 more deaths than the next highest death totals. But if you compare each of the top several country's number infected to their total population, then the US's infection rate is in the low-mid range. Many countries have a lower infection rate, but a lot of others have even higher rates than we do despite us having way more total case numbers. Also, if you arrange the charts based on 'Deaths per 1Mil Pop', then surprisingly the US ranks 15th at 144 deaths per 1 million population. It's not great, and we'd preferably be lower down on that ranking, but it's still better than the countries who have between 1,100 - 200 deaths per 1M pop. Especially considering we have 100s more million people than those other countries.
But honestly, nobody really knows how many people are going to catch this virus or die of it. The numbers are changing every single day, so every prediction they've given is just pure conjecture. Even scientist's and expert's absolute best educated guesses are probably going to be wrong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that as bad as things are now, I truly believe that things could be MUCH worse, and I hope it never gets to that. So yea, I think 200,000 could be considered a "success" rate while still being absolutely awful and tragic.
When the predicted amount of deaths by this point was up in several millions category, technically it is a net win. Not saying that 200k deaths is ideal, but its better that what we all were expecting
And it sounds even worse when you think about how the Pontic genocide at the hands of the Turks came to a number of about 500.000 people that is not far away from the number of deaths from the coronavirus. And how many have died worldwide because of lack of protective measures?
Caryn Code Yeah I love Zach! He’s major inspiration to me because I’m immunocompromised too. I watch him and the other TryGuys!
*me expecting zach to shout out the try guys*
zach: ...listen to scientists...
İkr!! When i saw his name i got really excited
I was about to say bruh
Ikr, and when he said he has a UA-cam channel Anthony linked buzzfeed 😳
@@raisedfromash I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Zach told Anthony to do that to troll the other Try Guys lol-
"Genocide by negligence." I got chills. Perfect way to put it.
It's a genocide against people who truly need health care more than anybody else. He described it perfectly. I'm glad someone said it as cruelly as they could
IKR
Making a scientist and a expert in micro virology who has been trusted by all the presidents of EEUU, make a press apparition to said both that they’re sorry, they’re wrong about the comeback of the virus on next Autumn.... when it’s what their studies showed....negligence, genocide, try to trick the survivors and save his ass threading her scientific team. He can catch a big coronavirus, right? Lots of american, this one less....not many people will miss him. But good things don’t happen. Bet Trumpy Dumpy has ultra Protection.😓😓 I’m so sorry for UE. Stay strong. And take care of the people in need. Those interviewed are rad. Loved all. Have the test on Monday and i never get off home. Non inmunocompromised, but low inmuno system as been anorexic for 23 years. Wish me luck!! And good luck with your test ppl! Lots of 💗 love.
Agreed. People here are acting like it’s no big deal. They are literally begging to go out and saying it’s not going to hurt anyone. It’s sick.
Totally agree with you, I wrote my own comment about what Zach said:
“I couldn’t agree more when Zach Kornfeld says:
“Genocide by negligence”
This is one of the most profound thoughts I’ve ever heard someone saying, especially during the ongoing pandemic
Amen 🙏
I’m writing this comment to tell Zach about my deepest respect of his excellent way of bring about such a deep thought, using only 3 words!
What Zach says is a hardcore truth, a fact! And what Zach said is something I’ll never forget!
I feel grateful beyond measure for Zach’s thoughts, his truth, which according to me should be everyone’s truth!
With love, respect & kindness & my wish for this episode to be an eye opener for everyone who see’s this and help combat covid-19 by helping people by wearing masks and help protect each other to make sure everyone is being able to stay safe and healthy.
/xx ❤️🙏🕊🍀

Jessica is so well spoken and eloquent, so glad that she was brought here to properly voice facts that some dumb people in this quarantine just aren't willing to listen.
Her youtube channel is so lovely! Check her out
Yes! I ran into 2 people on the internet and they tried arguing with me that we should open back up and just isolate the people who are more likely to get the disease. And kept trying to justify their arguments by saying "well you drive everyday, so you should stop driving because [insert percentage here] die from car accidents".
I quit trying to argue at this point with these people.
Quarantining makes it faster to get us all back out in such a healthier way.
He got everyone I wanted on here ❤
Ramsha Farooq I love her! Isn’t she deaf? I wonder how they did this interview
@Lil_LyriX It's Bill Murray lmao
I love how Anthony is using his following to educate people who may not understand or people who want to learn more than they already do.
Anthony is the wholesome person we need right now
Spreads misinformation too
MattD how so?
i dislike gay people
@@mattd2026 yes all one sided. The numbers were way over inflated
I’m immune compromised and I’ve had corona for almost 4 weeks now. I’m bed bound with severe M.E, POTS and a brain tumor. My lungs are in soo much pain and I haven’t been able to take deep (or even normal) breaths since I got corona and the symptoms are not improving while my family have mostly recovered from it. It sounds harsh but I hope someone with a similar condition as me finds this comment who also have corona so we can feel scared together at least. I hope we’ll get through this:/
Sending hugs! I hope you feel better soon. Keep on holding on!
I hope you feel better soon! Stay Strong 💕
I hope you get better :)
Hope you get through this, love.
How are you now?
Fun Fact: Jessica is deaf in addition to all of her conditions and she has to read lips to understand people. She has defied everything that should be expected of her as a disabled person, and despite all this she is thriving (EDIT: and has amazing style) !
We love you Jessia! WIsh there were more people in the world like you!
Caleb Mast she is absolutely amazing and I love her!!! She is very inspirational!
@@Ameliafromhere I know!!! We love herr!
and also blind in one eye... she also has chronic fatigue and debilitating migraines. she's my hero!
She’s just an icon, honestly.
I'm pretty sure she also has an interpreter working with her too, because lip reading is very unreliable, however she probably isn't able to help because of the coronavirus.
Makes me smile imagining people who don’t know about Jessica just seeing her as an amazing speaker. I’m always so impressed by her ability to speak and she’s a huge role model for my deaf cousin.
i didn't know jessica before watching this. she's beautiful and an amazing speaker, would love to see more of her!
@@rm-iu4gs check out her channel she's great
@@rm-iu4gs her channel is so informative about all various kinds of topics, from disabilities to lgbt+ videos, fun videos with her wife, makeup/clothing etc because she has a vintage style, its so cool!
Glori Snow Jessica’s videos are wonderful! She’s an amazing girl
hngjoonie yea she works very hard at keeping her speaking voice and making it sound completely normal.
"... that we don't have so many other amazing facets of ourselves." Amen! Jessica, our gay, disabled, vintage dressing, sign language using, Deaf, Quaker, chronically ill model, UA-camr & queen. And that's not even touching on her beautiful personality.
Edit: I always remember more things about her now. Because like her, I always forget that she's blind in one eye. And I should have mentioned her being a university graduate, because that was such a huge accomplishment to her.
The perfect way to describe you
I love Jessica too! She's great!
she's such a huge inspiration i love her 🥺🥺
is she deaf?? wow, I didn't even notice!!
Galactix She’s also partially blind
AnthonyPadilla - So you have a deaf guest, Jessica Kellgren-Fozard, and yet this video doesn't provide proper subtitles for other deaf people to be able to watch. The youtube live subtitles are not that great. Often we find it hard to distinguish who is saying what. Please consider having professional subtitles so that we can enjoy your content :)
EDIT: Very aware and very happy it has proper subtitles now!
Like so Anthony sees!!!!
That's very important
Yes please! We deserve good subtitles!

I get what you mean, but you can write them yourself (no hate I just wanted to let you know)
"genocide by negligence" why is zach so smart i love him
First off I also love Zach's smartness. Second off I love your pfp
Spoopy Winter omg thank you!! i love yours!!☺️
I love Zach and his happy, goofy side on camera. However, I deeply appreciate his underrated informative side, especially during this pandemic. Also, fander buddies! :)
StormyChlo yes!!! zach is my favorite try guy not only because he's funny, but also because of how genuinely smart and respectful he is and how willing he is to talk about his disability to represent other disabled people who don't have a platform. it inspires me so much that there are people like him.
(also i LOVE logan!! he's my favorite but i just really like this picture of virge🥺)

ZK: "LISTEN TO SCIENTISTS." *blank glare
I was surprised he didn't even mention Try guys
Aino Kettunen I was too but Zach has always been very conscious of who/what he promotes and I think he felt this was not the time or place.
"Listen to scientists" must be the worst life advice in the universe
@@gurunext Just be silent.
@@CP-ko3xz your name is chill pill and you seem to have silentist permit... i concede
"Genocide by negligence". What an accurate phrase.
😞😞
the UK gov would love if the public thought their continuing genocide of the disabled was unintentional tbh
When Jessica said that getting diagnosed was such a relief, I felt that on a deeper level. It kinds goes both ways. You're relieved, but also, a ton of things is dropped on you and that is not very relieving, it's the opposite. I'm also currently waiting to hopefully get diagnosed with yet another disease, and the feeling of insecurity and anxiety that comes with that is terrible. I've been on the waitlist for so long, but now I'm finally nearing my appointment.
Anastasia Germain mine is not a Disease but a mental illness well more than one mine are adhd and anxiety I was bullied for not paying attention and having panic attacks during school it was such a relief when I was diagnosed and that it was not my fault and that I wasn’t being too sensitive I wish you well.
I remember when I found Jessica's channel, I was suffering from terrible pain in all my body but I was procrastinating going to the doctor cause xmas was near and I didn't want to ruin it for the family in case it was bad news. I actually wrote to her saying I was scared and that I felt like if I didn't have a diagnosis I could pretend I didn't have a problem.
Turns out when I finally got my lupus diagnosis I was glad that I was able to make the pain go away with medication, and when I found out it comes with depression and chronic fatigue it was relieving to know it wasn't really my "fault" to be a sad lazy potato who fell asleep anywhere (craziest one: at my boss' office during a meeting while standing, not even sitting, I fell to the floor)
Good luck with your appointment! Hope everything turns out well, and you and your doctors can figure it out!
And don't feel alone in this. I think this is something that most people with a significant health issue feels. I have 5 diagnosed conditions, and 3 more in the process of diagnosis, treatment, and hopefully for two, curing.
It's so terrifying knowing something's wrong, and also, so validating knowing that you have a reason for your experiences.
this deserves more attention, stay resilient. it's okay to feel scared but please, if you feel its too much for you to handle, talk to someone you trust. my faith and prayers!
i’m currently on the waitlist for multiple doctors appointments to get diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. hopefully i get diagnosed soon 🥰
"Genocide by negligence." Couldn't have said it better myself.
I was so surprised to see Jessica here! She’s so well spoken a and intelligent, so glad she got to represent immunocompromised people during this time!
When I got the notification all I saw was “I spent a day with high risk immune-compromised people (Zach...” and I somehow instantly knew it was Zach Kornfeld.
Ikea bird, yo..you...you're alive...?
same
yeaa same his recent vid directly came to my mind
Sarthak Raut Nah, I’m typing this from minecraft heaven.
Ikea Bird-yes. EXACTLY. But also because this is an interesting topic and I love Anthony. Also-Zach’s last name is Kornfeld. just trying to remind you-not to be mean though :)
I practically BEGGED for you to bring Jessica Kellgren-Fozard on to your show when you asked what high risk people you should interview. Thank you for listening to us (: I am disabled and catch anything and everything so easily as well (I've gotten MRSA, shingles, sepsis from a small cut, etc. before I even turned 18) and have a lot of pain so watching her makes me feel less alone.
Jessica is definitely one of my comfort people
I have several mental health diagnoses, 9ne of which is excoriation disorder, also known as dermatillomania or skin picking disorder. I've gone septic from picking at my fave. Something has to give. And most of all, people need to try like hell to be more understanding.
Now to watch the video and see what my options are now! Lol ✌🏻
@@gothafloxacin same
walela talking about racial being racially profiled while wearing masks, gloves, etc (like the majority of the population right now) hit me like a truck... i know black and brown people have to deal with this on the day to day but it never occurred to me that this pandemic could be exacerbating that because of protective gear. im so glad they mentioned that because it really helped open my (and probably lots of other people's) eyes
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My father, 6'3" black man that has a strange resemblance to Samuel L Jackson, is afraid to go pick up his medicine because he doesn't want the pharmacy to think he's trying to harm them. It should go without saying that he's harmless and is a typical Dad and enjoys things like fishing and bowling.
I'm an essential worker and after work I'd go get gas and I can feel the stares. I'm a fairly small woman but apparently I look intimidating. And I can't even do the "I'm a Good Person" smile because my face is covered. I still wave and yell "how ya doin" and chipper as I can because I don't want anyone feeling uneasy. Its weird and I don't like it.
i never even thought about that before...
It's so annoying that something as small as protective gear is something that we aren't comfortable using. My mom was called a "black terrorist" the other day while shopping. The person claimed that it was a joke, but jokes are supposed to be funny.
@@missyrowen7189 im so sorry you and your dad are going through that. it's so wild to me that people still don't realize that racial profiling is an still a daily issue for so many people of color. even if people don't realize they're doing it, we all grew up in this society that teaches us that black and brown people are "more dangerous" than white people, and we all have that bias ingrained in our minds. my father is a 6'3" white man and i know for a fact he never dealt with anything like that (even though he's more dangerous than your dad is). im also 5'6" and white and again, ive never dealt with anything like that, even when wearing a mask or hoodie. the only difference between us and you guys is our skin color and the fact that that makes any difference makes me so mad.
"Genocide by negligence." When he said that, I was like, yep, that's the description for which I was looking.
The way he uses the tv in place of a person is so good! I thought it’d just look like another zoom call format but this make it feel more normal? Somehow.
Elizabeth Hannah I agree! It feels like he’s still really sitting down with them ☺️
Ikr! It's much nicer to look at it
I strayed away from videos of his bc I assumed they'd be through zoom. Thank god it isnt!
I've had to delete so many former friends due to this coronavirus situation. People around me, especially in my city are being so selfish about it. I could potentially die from this virus and at the same time there are college kids having parties and leaving quarantine dorms for fun. They're taking part in killing people like me and elders. It's disgusting and embarrassing.
It literally amazes me that ppl can be this selfish. Smh. I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I hope you and your family stay safe.
I’ve had numerous people in my city say “We demand to know the real numbers!” And other heinous comments like “so only 0.1 percent have died(in our county in the state)from Covid!” It’s heartbreaking and also it infuriates me that they are being so selfish to the people that have lost their lives to Covid-19 and all they care about is the “real” number. Just goes to show you how incredibly unsympathetic, arrogant, selfish people are in this world.
I'm immunocompromised, immunodeficient, and disabled and hearing people say "it doesn't pertain to me" or "survival of the fittest" is almost humiliating. it's wrong and it makes us feel like something is wrong with us because we're not worth the time or we are the unlucky ones to be taken by sicknesses when over half the time, especially for immunocompromised, it's not our fault and it's unjust to say that about us and our community when one day they could wake up and be like us.
It is hard. Your not alone. I have lupus, ra, crest syndrome, osteopenia. And it is hard to try to get groceries or toiletries. They have special lines for the elderly but no special lines for us, at least here. And I hear people say oh well, there are the have and have nots. It's cold cause we didnt ask for these disorders. But we are more cautious, have been even before. I hope you and other people with complications make it through. Stay safe and positive
@@sinbb4067 thank you for your message and opening up. I love to know that I have others by my side. thank you again, I wish you well during these times

@@sinbb4067 I wish you luck! my next infusion is mid May, our city has been really safe especially because it's a clinic I go to, but with 400+ cases it definitely gets nerve wracking. I hope for the best at your next appointment for you ❤️

I love how Zach didn’t mention the Try Guys channel at all, like he just said “I have a UA-cam channel” and Anthony played clips from buzzfeed videos
LOL they knew the audience would do that plug for them :P

Like when you are in serious conversation would you act goofy,corcky and that shit
No so not only Zach do that all people do .

The words of Zach K 'Genocide by negligence' are so powerful. It completely captured the nature of government leadership we all have to rely on right now
I'm so glad you chose Jessica as one of your speakers for this video. She's such a snarky sweetheart and is SUCH a great source of info regarding this type of stuff! Such a snarky, sarcastic sweetheart of a woman 💖😊💖
Props to Anthony for listening to his audience and asking Zach and Jessica to be in the video. Shows that he actually cares about his audience’s opinions.
I see Zach, I click. I see Jessica, I click even harder.
is it weird when I saw he was doing this I knew Zach would be in this video

"I spent a day with people facing discrimination in times of Coronavirus."
This pandemic is bringing the best and the worst out of people. Sadly, discrimination and xenophobia have spiked during this time, especially towards the Asian population around the world. I live in Toronto, a city that houses a large Chinese community that is facing lots of hate from ignorant people due to misinformation around the Coronavirus.
Love your work, Anthony, I'm really thankful for UA-camrs like you who are using this platform to raise awareness about so many important issues in our society and, more importantly, giving people a chance to be heard.
Hey fellow Canadian, I live in Kingston, ON. I was worried that was going to be an issue. I wonder if people are protesting at the Chinese embassy again near where I used to live....
@@coffeegirl18 Hey! (Not a Canadian yet, but hopefully one day! lol) There have been no protests as far as I know - I might be wrong. What I've heard from friends is that some people are being very rude and have even threatened people just because they *look* Asian, and for some reason race equals disease? It's crazy how anything can become an excuse for racism to become "acceptable".
Vicky Gómez you’re so right!! I have a family member that is an elementary school nurse, parents were telling staff that the school needs to make the Asian kids stay home!! This was back in February but still the ignorance is astounding!! It breaks my heart for the kids!!!
Vicky Gómez girl I am late by 4 months kaka but imma still comment I’m Chinese in an Asian country, where majority of the population are Chinese. And it’s real funny, because in the beginning there was a lot of false info being spread so there were a lot of elderly, both Chinese and non, who were being dumb about covid-19. Even the Chinese were being “racist” to our own race, eg. Saying don’t go near the “PRC” aka people’s republic of China which refers to people born in china. So oop covid-19 rlly brought out the worst in people, all over the world.
I live in the GTA (but not Toronto) and my best friend/coworker is half Chinese, born and raised in Canada, never left the country even to travel. Taking the bus she’s gotten so many ignorant comments, at work one day a customer outright asked her if she was Asian and she said she was half Chinese not thinking anything of it, and they started asking her if she should be at the Home Depot “spreading her disease” around. Every one of our coworkers were pissed. Lucky for them they left (in fear from my friend solely because of their racism) before any of the managers could show up because they would have been banned. Managers told her in the future, don’t even respond just immediately call out for a manager, that she should not be dealing with that.
As someone that is high risk, I would like to say it's really, really depressing and sad to have people constantly saying they want us to die for the greater good etc. I literally saw a sign to sacrifice the weak. I haven't left my house in 26 days. I feel very paranoid and isolated. Not only are people not being safe but they don't care if we die. It makes all of us feel like shit. I'm so glad this video is out. You can't tell so many of us are ill, but invisible illnesses are not uncommon.
I know that you know that most people think lile me but I still want to tell you this: I don't want you to die. I hope you get through this and are healthy.
(I don't want this to come like NoT evERYonE Is liKE thAt, so sorry if it did)
Love you sweetheart, stay strong and stay safe!! You matter to us !!😟 im staying in and staying safe and AWAY FROM EVERY SINGLE PERSON in hopes that EVERYONE can be safe.. 💜

The fact that Anthony is using his platform to raise awareness AND help financially support people in need is amazing.
As a teenager with multiple health issues such had a heart aneurysm, a immune deficiency, and asthma I’m glad to see some people are getting the chance to speak up. I’ve been in and out of the hospital for 5 years of my life and i’ve never been considered normal. I know how these people feel and I know what there going through. My respect goes out to the people that are going through this correctly. Thank you to the people who are staying home. We will get through this together.

I have c.o.p.d asthma and double heart beets and lower immune System some of its from being a premature baby and so I get it during this time it’s scary but just stay strong and stay inside and stay safe
Chronic asthmatic and allergic to literally the outdoors...lowkey always been rockin a poor immune system. Hospital especially as a kid over the years sucks. Stay positive yall!
@@destiny5730 thinking of u 💕 your so strong!! If u every need a friend or listener I am here🌈 stay safe
My best friend is severely immune compromised. I went about a year and half without seeing her in person but we FaceTimes every few days and texted every single day, despite living less than a mile apart. You can totally maintain relationships online with your immune compromised friends, it’s just about putting in that effort. Nowadays we live about 2,500 miles away from each other, as we both moved after highschool, but maintain contact just the same. She told me it’s hard for her because many people give up on having a friendship with her because of her illness. Isolation isn’t easy for anyone, especially for the chronically Ill. The point of this is to say if you have a friend in isolation, be there for them (online, not physically though).
Can you do "I spent a day with Dyslexics"?
Not just Dyslexia, but also they surrounding learning difficulties too, like discalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia! Dyslexia is very misunderstood and people need to stop ignoring it.
Good idea. Jessica is actually dyslexic as well!
I am ...
I don't know much at all about living with dyslexia, I want to learn! Hope he does it!
Ooh yes I would love to hear about that, I know very little of it.
I have dysgraphia which is a simular disorder. I can read perfectly fine however i struggle with hand writing, spelling and wording.
I’ve never seen Zach so serious before.. like it’s weird seeing him like this
Maegan Raelyn yeah same here! but it’s kind of refreshing in a way to see this side of him since he actually had a lot of good points and he’s actually a really good speaker
go watch trypod youtube channel to see more!
k a m i l a I usually only listen to the podcast on iTunes. I guess the seriousness just doesn’t get all the way across
Right? I was shocked that he didn't plug his insta lol
Angie B or his tiktok😂😂
When zach said I don’t know how we got to the point where science has become an opinion.... like me too it’s so whack about how recently science has just became not evidence but opinion
Mia_655 uhh science is actually all theories and over time again and again we realize we’re wrong and try to improve we know not a whole lot LOL certainly more than when we’ve first existed but knowledge is infinite
lexi white to be more precise what I’ve learnt, during my biology degree atm, as scientists we can’t prove things are right but we prove things are wrong
Where the problem comes in is when people take advantage of the honesty of science about its own shortcomings to call it “fake news” to serve their own agendas.
lexi white They weren’t disagreeing with you to begin with

I love Jessica, she's such a strong woman
She's a rich privileged NEET
@@_frangipani_ fuck off
She's amazing I love her
I love myself I'm an average "strengthed" lad
@@_frangipani_ I know it's been 9 months but she's deaf. She speaks that way so she doesn't sound muffled
I'm a simple girl. I see Jessica, I click.
No, but for real. Jessica is a true inspiration and such a good role model for disabled people. I myself am not disabled but I started following her because of her LGBTQ+ and vintage content. But I've admired her positivity and the way she copes with her disabilities ever since. And besides that she's such a sweetheart and I really look up to her.
So anyone who's looking for a good role model, Jessica it is 🧡✨
I started following her for her vintage looks and cute cooking or travel videos. I'm not physically disabled, but have several mental health disorders. She's given me so much confidence to just be myself, and taught me that my failures and shortcomings aren't my identity.

YES OMFG SHES SO ICONIC UGH
I first came to her channel for vintage styling tips, stayed for her personality. And I am loving the educational gay + disability content, even though I am neither ❤
If you don’t have any disabilities how do you know she’s a good role model for us that do?
My grandmother was immune compromised and she died last week from corona so this hits different
I'm sorry
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry, hun...

Im so sorry keep holding on you beautiful human being ❤️
It's a sad reality when it's easier to imagine people dying for the "economy" than capitalism changing.
Wow this sentence makes me want to cry
there was a german comedian saying something in a podcast that fits this quite well: companies dont die, humans die.
its horrible that people put the economy over the lives of thousands of people
@@Ariyl I think in general people have to learn that companies aren't humans. It may sound stupid but I think some people at least subconsciously feel like that and companies take advantage of that. Just think about fast food twitter where fast food companies hire people to make sassy/funny/.. tweets for cheap marketing. If you even show concern over these marketing practices you get angry comments for "ruining the fun", even though people know that that's not the sassy company mascot tweeting but just someone hired who exploits those people that think they're not influenced by these marketing strategies.
My husband, daughter and I are all high risk patients and my husband has been an essential worker the entire time. Our most frightening time was when his supervisor ended up catching it after he'd been teasing those who wore masks to work. He'd get real close to them and "ignore" how uncomfortable he made them then laugh about it.
Since our daughter and I have reactive airway we treated my husband coming home exactly like we did when I was still able to work in healthcare. I hold the door for him, he goes straight to washing machine and strips, don't touch sides it washing machine with clothes and go straight to the shower. While he does this our daughter stays in her room. While he showers I use my health care level wipes to clean everything his car.
Jessica looks like she walked straight out of an 80's flim, shes so pretty and elegant doe
An 80's film in which the 50's are portrayed v accurately and beautifully
She does hair tutorials and loves that aesthetics.
That's the most accurate description of Jessica I've ever seen
cookie puff Not the 80s. Lol. 40s
You really don't know how people looked like in the 80s lol
My favorite thing about these interviews is that Anthony has two sides to each issue. Like “Are they being overzealous or are they completely sane?”, but the thing is if you do think they’re being overzealous, he proves you wrong gently and respectively. It’s like the best form of throwing shade.
Yeah i think the only video where the people were portrayed negatively was the paparazzi one
Moonsetta I love that he does that with every topic because everyone knows it’s the better of the two but it gives people who think they’re awful and no good a smidgen of hope that they’re right
@@SilvanaLTD i mean that was fair
@@nurailidepaepe2783 lol yeah
He does a better job being a "journalist" than actual journalists. I hope that made sense.
jessica is literally amazing. being deaf, immunocompromised and disabled in general, plus being lgbt means she must have really gone through a lot.
As far as I know, she has never had that many issues with being gay, but much more with her disabilities
@@Flareontoast anyone part of the community is going to have problems.Whether its from being unnacceptef or just having that one hater.Im sure in one point shes let it get to her
Anthony: makes informative videos that raise money for people affected by coronavirus
The president: drink bleach you’ll be fine
factss
thats literally not what he said but ok be an idiot
@@rebeccalasky6109 that’s exactly what he said though
@@lunnaris474 No! He said to inject it. Injecting a household cleaner is much different from drinking it /sarcasm/
@@lunnaris474 k after don't basic research I found out that what he actually said was uv lights were were promising at killing the virus and then he said something about injecting disinfectants that's what everyone was going crazy over. However Uv lights can be disinfectants. I mean the guy can't speak for shit anymore so I'm not sure what he actually meant all I know is that he didn't tell people to drink bleach.
"What does sick look like? What does disability look like?"
The dollar store in my area is doing a thing where, for the first hour they're open, only elderly and those at risk are allowed in the store. I went in there one day and had so many elderly people glaring at me and it's like... I'm so deeply sorry that my asthma and diabetes isn't visible for you to tell I'm considered at risk.
Also was on the phone with my mental health case manager near the start of this pandemic and I mentioned something about being at risk and she literally scoffed and asked "how are you considered at risk?". People always assume you're perfectly fine and healthy unless you're visibly showing symptoms they can see.
They don't give you a badge when you're diagnosed wth.
@@meaganwallwork5395 I'm not sure if you're asking or telling me that...
right? I have asthma and chronic pain and fatigue, sorry I look young and not withered and old. Any age can be ill
I would make a name tag that says something like “ I have this and this, leave me alone” lol jk. Bless you! I hope things get better soon.
Stating in an empathetic manner.
Just a little note, but i love how Anthony puts people’s pronouns when they’re introduced- it not only respects their identity but also keeps the comments respectful as well :)
Yeah I was positively surprised when I saw that, so respectful
"When you decline the first two party invites, you don't get invited to the third one." That literally describes my entire life with severe chronic migraines and joint issues. When you have to cancel on friends fairly often due to health issues that you can't control, the friends just disappear eventually.
SeabassFishbrains I’m sorry people were shitty to you, those were never real friends!!! The good people stick around. The ones that don’t, you don’t need them. Stay strong 💪
I also have chronic migraines and joint issues (pretty severe Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). It’s painful how isolating illness is ❤️
Yes! It’s so true. I have chronic migraines, as well. Each new friend is a whirlwind of thoughts: When should I tell them? Will they be understanding? Is it going to push them away? How much do I tell them?
I have been very fortunate to have a small group of close friends that know when I say no, it’s because I’m protecting myself from pain or scary shit.
Well you must've not found good friends. I have joint pains and reacurring inflammations and i sometimes cancel on my friends, they either come to my house next to my bed and keep me company or they get it.
This episode need a follow up so badly. The discussion about racial profiling, the disbelief at misinformation, etc, everything is SO MUCH WORSE
I have asthma, and I’ve been told that when I first self isolated (which was around a week before my school actually shut down) that I was overreacting, and that I should prioritize school over my health. Thankfully, Washington quickly shut everything down and I didn’t get in any trouble, but the fact that I was told that they would rather have me possibly die than miss any school made me lose a lot of trust for the government
When I was in 7th grade I broke my arm. Came to school that afternoon because of it. The next day my teacher criticized me for breaking my arm when it wasn't my fault. Schools can be messed up.
I'm also asthmatic, and my school was one of the last ones to shut down because of covid-19, my mom called the principal before the last day of school saying that I wasn't going attend it, basically I had all the absences justified. The week after the school closed. But let me tell you that I was kinda scared.
Also asthmatic. Not severely so, but you don't have to be for this.
I'm quite lucky that I also live in WA, which responded quickly, and that I've been able to work remote since the second week of February.
I don't see how any of this took people by surprise short of them being overly optimistic or just outright ignoring world events.
I was getting so many problems at work for stressing my concern. I wasn't even aloud to work from home for a week after the safe at home order was put down because we are an " essential business". Its so hard being told you're young and look healthy... like no my lungs don't work like they're supposed to maybe stop telling me I'm overreacting. It's so scary my state is looking at opening by may 1 and I'm terrified. I need to convince my boss to let me work from home until this is all resolved.
Wait I have asthma too, I read asthmatic people weren't a risk group! Unless they had severe asthma. Are there new discoveries on this??
This has been my life since I was 17, I'm now 49. My husband is an "essential worker", and he undresses in the garage and heads straight to the shower before he even says hello to me. We're frightened every day that even with the extreme measures he takes that he'll somehow bring Covid home. He stays on the job because he's the youngest there, even at the age of 54, and doesn't want his older coworkers to have to possibly get sick and die from it. Please everyone STAY HOME so our loved ones can possibly make it out safe before all of this is over.
Amanda Butterfield your husband sounds like a fantastic person that’s really dedicated to doing the right thing I hope the best for you both 💞
Hearing Jessica talk about EDS to an audience of mostly abled folks almost brings me to tears. She’s my representation
Aubrie RIGHT I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS!!!
Have you heard of the channel Simon and Martina, they are a married Canadian couple living in Japan. Martina has EDS and she talks about on the channel. They have a very positive community so I recommend watching them. On another note a drag queen called oddly yvie also has EDS and they did ru Paul's drag race and won.
Bree M whaaat I had no idea! As a kid when she talked about being in a wheelchair in the future and that’s why they were moving, I didn’t know it was the same situation as me
Might watch them again just for that
Aubrie almost NEVER hear about our disorder being talked about. I love her.
Bree M oh I love yvie! I haven’t heard of this couple but I’ll check them out!
When Zach said that people assume people who are immuno compromised are old I related. I have nurses who visit every other day because I have an open wound and they all said they mostly dealt with older people. Not to mention when he pronounced his disease. I first got diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa about a year ago and I couldn't pronounce it at first but now I'm a pro at it. I had to because most people don't know what it is.
As someone who is severely immune compromised, I’ve been in quarantine since March 9th. I have not left my house and I still contracted covid 19. I tested positive on April 2nd. I was terribly ill, I was bed ridden for 24 days and I’m still dealing with remaining symptoms. I live in New York, so I pretty much had to brace myself and expect to get it because of how people here were handling things. Seriously, This video means so much to me. Thank you for making this and the covid survivors video. Thank you to those who participated for doing this and showing just how important it is that people take the extra steps to protect themselves and others who may not be able to protect themselves to the same extent; not just during a pandemic but always. 🖤 much love to all and I hope Walela gets that transplant they need.
I'm praying for you 😭🌈❤
I hope you're doing okay
Hope you make a quick recovery :)
do you have any ideas or hunches about how exactly you may have contracted it while being quarantined? very interesting
Best wishes!
Loved the part were they talk about how being sick does not have a “look”. As a disabled, immunodeficient young person who doesn’t always look sick I feel that a lot. There should be much more education about that, getting people to remember that they could always be around sick people and act accordingly. Would that be so bad? Worst case scenario, you’re being extra safe unnecessarily. It wouldn’t hurt anyone.
100%. My son has cystic fibrosis and has worn a mask all his life in public. He feels “normal” now that everyone is wearing one as well (he doesn’t leave the house tho). He is very thin, but does not “look” disabled. Keep safe, love.
I'm immunodeficient and disabled as well, and I couldn't agree more. thank you!
Yeah, this. Just because you don’t “look” ill/disabled/sick doesn’t mean you’re not. I had a knee surgery which caused me to have to walk with crutches for a while. Everyone in my school knew about this and was careful about bumping into me. But as soon as the crutches were gone, people would purposely knock me over, push me into walls and trip me over. Why? Just because I don’t “look” to be recovering doesn’t mean i’ve fully recovered. I know this is a lot worse for immunodeficient people and i’m so sorry if i offended you. Try and educate me if i did, okay?
(Stay strong people, we’ll get through this! ❤️❤️❤️)
Giulia Nico for 13 years I’ve had so many organ problems, my skin breaking out in huge rashes that aren’t contagious, have low blood flow to my feet, my back feels like millions of fire ants under the skin biting me and nothing helps, also have “headaches” that make me puke and I can’t move, have had mris done cat scans done and margarines leave trace colors in a scan and I didn’t have those come to find out my muscles contract in my head and neck they sell super big putting pressure on my brain They finally after 12 years of extreme pain diagnosed me with lupus sle and fibromyalgia. But no doctors would believe me for years because I was to young and it was all in my head, it was hormones, it was I was stressed, over worked ect. But one doctor finally listened after seeing everything they “diagnosed” me with, chronic kidney infection, gallbladder problems, liver problems even though I don’t drink, nerve damage in my back (because I feel and broke my tail bone at 11) my feet was oh your feet just are cold, then it was Ibs then ulcerative colitis, then krons (even though I had no symptoms of any of those besides swollen Bowels) after puking 20x in one hour and having one of my migraines my body covered in a rash all over my back, neck ,chest and legs one doctor said nope at the er and refered me to a specialist and there I got the right meds and treatment. Immune deficiencies aren’t just for older people they don’t discriminate lots of them are hereditary and can start at young ages.
No, worst case scenario: people will begin frantically socially distancing and cleaning, might even trigger some OCD.
Obviously though, that is the WORST case scenario, it is very unlikely to actually happen.
Theres kids at my school like "omg I cant wait for summer" but they're the same people going out with huge groups of friends. Like ok rachel because of you we aren't gonna have a summer.
Maleah H. “Okay Rachel” 😂
Like OKAY Rachel!
I’m so glad I’m not one of those rachels 😂😂
Lmao
Rachel same and my name is spelt differently so I'm definitely not like those Rachel's
I couldn’t agree more when Zach Kornfeld says:
“Genocide by negligence”
This is one of the most profound thoughts I’ve ever heard someone saying, especially during the ongoing pandemic
Amen 🙏
I’m writing this comment to tell Zach about my deepest respect of his excellent way of bring about such a deep thought, using only 3 words!
What Zach says is a hardcore truth, a fact! And what Zach said is something I’ll never forget!
I feel grateful beyond measure for Zach’s thoughts, his truth, which according to me should be everyone’s truth!
With love, respect & kindness & my wish for this episode to be an eye opener for everyone who see’s this and help combat covid-19 by helping people by wearing masks and help protect each other to make sure everyone is being able to stay safe and healthy.
/xx ❤️🙏🕊🍀

Jessica Kellgren- Fozard and Anthony Padilla.
What a crossover, my friends.
A cross over I didn't know I needed
Crossover of the century
This video literally made me cry, especially at the end when he asks if they want to say anything to the immune compromised people at home, I’m also a leukemia survivor so I’m immune compromised right now, I went into my blast stage in 2018 and had a bone marrow transplant in July of 2018. Cancer wise I’m in remission but I’m still dealing with a lot of issues from radiation and transplant that still have me disabled and at risk of catching literally anything. I can say with 100% honesty that cancer never scared me as much as right now and I almost died in the icu once. At least cancer has treatment, not everyone is as lucky as me to survive after treatment and I know that but we barely know anything about covid-19. When people like me get it there’s not much hope of fighting it off or recovering and that has me scared for my life anytime I see my neighbors outside when I’m sitting in my yard even tho were more than 6 feet apart. I wish the people who are demanding everything get re opened and think that I’m willing to die for the economy could see everything through my eyes. I’m 17, I’ve already almost died once and I’ll be damned if I die because someone “really needed a haircut” and then came into contact with my mom at the store, and to make it worse I’m in Georgia, one of the states reopening everything soon.
I am truly sorry you had to go through all of this. I am honestly enraged that ignorant people think the economy is more important than the health and wellbeing of the people around them.
I'm so sorry dear! My grandpa is in the exact same position as you and it breaks my heart seeing him scared and anxious because of the current situation. It sure is a very very difficult situation at the moment...Best of luck to you and your health! ❤
I'm so sorry you're going through all this. I'm also in Georgia and while my mom and I aren't all that high risk, my dad has several conditions that make him immunocompromised, heart failure being one of them, so it's been a lot to deal with because he also can't fight something like this. Just today we've been stewing at my house because of the ridiculousness of businesses being reopened right now. You deserve to have your health taken seriously. Sending love your way ❤️❤️
As someone with and autoimmune disease (Crohn’s disease) and immunocompromised, I cannot thank you enough for making this video. Thank you thank you thank you! The world is terrifying right now. I’ve been so scared someone is going to infect me and cost me my life. All on top of the concerns I have for my friends and family+ essential workers across the globe. You’re so wonderful, Anthony. Thank you and those in this video for giving us a louder voice
squishy0599 right!! I’m so glad he made this video. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I’m glad he’s spreading awareness of autoimmune disorders Bc they don’t get enough recognition.
Thinking of u, I'm here if u need a friend 💖🌻 stay strong 🌈💖
Same, I have Crohn's disease as well and use some strong medication.
My twin brother and I have crohns too! Except just he’s immunocompromised (he’s on Remicade) and I’m not. I don’t think people realize how many young people are immunodeficiency and they just want to worry about themselves and don’t realize how badly it could affect others
Seeing those protesters out saying “it’s only killing vulnerable people. They were going to die anyway” it makes me seriously angry. Like wtf are they even saying, that we don’t matter? That we don’t deserve to live as much of our lives as possible because some asshole wants to go to a bar? What the fuck.
watching this over two years later, and, oh my god. if we would've had more people like these lovely folks, thousands of lives would have/SHOULD have been saved.
“The government has failed us” preach girl, let’s all take actions in our communities to help when our leaders cannot!
Or let's all start taking action to take these leaders out of control because they consistently fail us as a system.
you might've missed it, but walela uses they/them pronouns
let's gather, comrades
👏🏻
Grandma lol no. communism will do nothing. you’re mad at the government. communism will bring in more government.
As someone who’s immunocompromised, probably less than others, the advice almost made me cry because people around me are being irrational and not social distancing but I feel reached. I feel that I’m seen. I thank all four of you for being willing to talk about this and make this community known.
i felt that! I have an affected immune system too, and I know its not a deadly immunodeficiency, but I don't know anyone else my age with an immune system issue. It can feel extra isolating to not have others understand what you're going through, so its nice to see young adults i can relate to! Hope you're doing okay and staying well (as well as you can be, that is) :)
Me too! Although I don’t think mines deadly I have multiple conditions that affect me and my immune system and no ones taking it seriously. I have to go back to school next week!
AsbestosLover666 I’m actually not even an adult yet and here I am, with a thyroid problem which effects my acne, my outer body temperature, and basically my entire immune system. It’s not serious to so many people but it’s serious enough to the point where I can’t have any gluten/wheat/soy (I’m not allergic to it) otherwise my immune system will be compromised for three months or so. What’s your situation?
Emma Wilson How are you still in school? Is it a private school? I know my (private) school went online so I hope yours does too if not already. When I first found out that public schools had cancelled school in person for a bit and my school hadn’t yet (thankfully they did before spring break was over), I tried to beg my parents to keep me home (they didn’t agree with me but either way I won cause the school close for the rest of the year now)
Penelope Wilmoth exactly! Even being the smallest bit immunocompromised during this time is terrifying with people ignoring us, let alone the high risk people who basically have to become that boy in the bubble suit or something just to do anything involved with even their roommates
Unfortunately, my parents are under the mindset of "the economy goes first." I already got into a fight with them about it, and i don't want to do it again, considering that i live with then.
Same. My father just told me last night that I'm "giving up my right" because I dont agree with the people protesting in front of the hospital emergency entrances. Like sorry, I work in the fucking medical field and these people are seriously hindering those who need help
I saw a wonderful thing about how "the economy exists to serve people and people don't exist to serve the economy." At the end of the day you have to realize that the economy is just something we have built to function as a society and is not inherently necessary for the survival of our species. The survival of humanity though, is necessary for the survival of the economy. Even if it weren't, what good is an economy that only benefits the young and healthy while everyone else is left to die? The interviewees make great points about how these "economy first" people are in fact incredibly wrong about what will happen if people go back to work, but really I think that isn't the point of why that mindset is so harmful. You can't let the vulnerable die just so the powerful can survive. In this case it's ableism and ageism and classism (since the people who are in most harm are minimum wage workers rather than CEOs who can work remotely) but this idea is one that justifies genocides, slavery, and so many more awful things we have seen throughout history.
Screw their rights
I dont live with my father and im atleast happy that is isnt being reckless and caring solely for the economy. He already has respiratory problems and doesnt live in the best conditions. My mom would also stop working if she could but shes a LPN(licensed practicing nurse) and needs to help her cilents with insulin and things.
arguments: 1 covid 19 is suspected to have severe long term effects even in mild cases, doctors have found patients who have recovered with severely damaged lungs
2 viruses can mutate. and so might covid 19. we might not be able to get herd immunity, when the virus mutates too fast
3 we do not know, for how long people are immune after having recovered. it could just be a couple of months. in combination with 2, we could have an ongoing, never ending pandemic sort of like we already have with the flu.
4 are your parents anti old german nazis? good. tell them weighing up people's lives in money is literally what nazis did with sick and disabled people. and they killed those sick and disabled people "that cost the economy" in a programm calles euthanasia. Zach is right. Going for herd immunity IS genocide by neglect.
side note: i LOVE that he puts everyone’s pronouns with their names! not just with they/them pronouns but all of them! ugh i love it!

I literally had a dream the other night where I was at like a flea market or something and I was looking at the crafts people were selling and I was walking behind an elderly lady and this little girl literally yelled at me to back up and stay six feet away.

The whole "you dont look sick" statement should never ever be said to an immunocompromised/disabled person. I have crohns disease and am on a medication that suppresses my immune system and allows me to work and live my life, but to everyone around me i dont look sick. If I could turn myself inside out and compare myself to a healthy person, i guarantee it would not be an argument.
Also I can completely relate to the paranoia Ned was talking about. Sometimes I feel like i'm being too cautious and other times I dont feel like im being cautious enough. Its a truly vicious mental cycle that is not fun to deal with. Thank you so much for sharing this video Anthony. This is a topic that isnt discussed enough.
omg I know it's so irritating. I've had to wear a brace on my ankle and my arm to make my Lyme disease visible. I get a lot of joint/muscle twinges too. My friend in college had Crohns and she had the worst time eating anything. I taught her the super tame food acronym (I forget it now) but it's like toast with butter, bananas and yogurt. I basically use it when new meds or lyme makes me nauseous.
My gma said this to me once and I just responded with "well I don't look gay either"
I have Crohn’s disease too and get his all the time! What never helps is I look ridiculously young to I’m always told by nurses and hospital doctors “your too young to have gone through everything you have.” My body doesn’t care how old I am. The disease will do what it’s going to do, we can only navigate it so much.
i have crohns too! and people say this all the time, but they ignore that the affects of crohns occur INSIDE the body.
I'm waiting for Trisha to come out and say she's immune-compromised too to rack in some views.
OMG yes😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️
Yeah, I've been thinking the same :-/
Hahaha she would!
I was about to say this
Naomi Portelli I hate how hard that hit me 😂
"If you say no to two parties in a row, you don't get asked to the third." Yep, that's hard.
You should do a video on ehlers-danlos syndrome. I've litterally had to explain what it is to doctors... Very frustrating and needs more awareness.
That is seriously beyond fucked up- I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.
Would u mind explaining what it is very briefly to add some context? If that's fine with u
@@galileodirectio it's a connective tissue disorder. There are about 12 different types. Typically it causes your body to produce faulty collagen. It affects almost every part of your body. Expecially joints, skin, and organs.
The whole fact that people with immune disorders look different is too true. Even an immunologist has said "if you have something going on, you'd be the healthiest one ive seen" was totally discounted from having something wrong with us because we looked healthy.
Kay Brucker oh man do i agree with this! i got diagnosed with lupus and the doctor was like " you might have it, but don't worry it's not that bad!" then had awful symptoms and saw a doctor and was shocked that he could say that. it's hard.
Oh boy... I've been there for about 10 years hearing that "it doesn't hurt" or "you shouldn't feel pain that way" (I have Spondylitis, but discovered that only this year)... if everyone knew how it feels to have your needs neglected because "you don't look sick"...
It hits hard, especially when you know part of the reason you still dont know what is going on with you is cause they kinda dont believe you. But hey second opinion in june so lets hope
@Kay Brucker don't stop there. Second, third, tenth opinion... until you feel safe and understood. Thank God I didn't settle with my previous doctors. I had 4 of them. Then, one day, when I was about to go under exploratory surgery on my spine, one of the team's Mds suggested I might be immunocompromised. (FYI I also have scoliosis, so for many years they told me my pain was from that, but I shouldn't feel that much pain because "scoliosis doesn't hurt") they stopped the surgery that instant. They were right, scoliosis might not hurt, but my real condition wasn't just that. Be strong and don't doubt yourself and don't ignore your struggle
This is too true, too common, and so disheartening. If you're looking for community, www.sufferingthesilence.com/ has been helpful for a lot of the people in my life living with chronic illness. Wishing you all the best!
the fact that Anthony started putting his guests’ pronouns makes me love him even more.
Makes me so happy
stfu, gender and sex is the same.

If I didn't already know Jessica, I would have no clue that she's deaf.
She is deaf, disabled, quaker, gay, red head, ect!! She is amazing
Wait she's deaf??
@@thepokemonbiatch3602 not only deaf but partially blind
@@Angiezinha_ i thought deaf people had distorted speech? I saw a vid about that once a girl was trying to see if her family could understand her for a yt vid
@@thepokemonbiatch3602 I believe she went deaf later in life and that is why she speaks like that
I have AS like Zach and General Anxiety Disorder, so this has been my nightmare!!!! The constant existencial dread can be so over whelming. I have had several panic attacks and many days of absolute fear. I am in pretty extreme isolation since I had inadverntant contact with an infected tourist (I work as a tour guide) and that was Feburary 27th. I do not leave my home except to walk my dog. I avoid contact with every other human being besides my husband. My hands are a mess from constant hand washing. I spent two hours yesterday disinfecting my grocery delivery. I bring disinfectant whipes every time I leave my apartment to disinfect my door knob, the elevator buttons, the front door knob, my mail box.... I also have no idea when I will be able to go back to work, let alone safe to go back to work. I current have daily panic attacks becuase my parents are in legal quarantne due to contact with an infected person and are awaiting their corona test results. When people ask me how I am doing I just say "ok enough" becuase at least I am not dead or infected but really, this is daily torment.
PSA: don’t skip through the ads and if you have the time, watch this video a couple times to make sure that anthony can maximize this wonderful donation!!!!!
Elie R skipping through the ads doesn’t make him lose money though just the first seconds of seeing them
You know it’s serious when Zach didn’t use his 5 seconds to promote his social media (which is @korndiddy on all platforms 😉)
To be fair, Zach is part of one of the most recognizable groups on UA-cam, he doesn't have to use the time to promote himself and he obviously felt that time was more well spent.
Sarah Coleman yet James Charles self promoted himself
@@deveilye4478 That's speaks more of the kind of person James Charles is than a detriment to Zach Cornfeld...
@@deveilye4478 A lot of people promote themselves here. It's really no need for shaming people who do that and it's really not the place and time now to hate and shame James Charles.
Deveily E well it’s kind of a running joke in the try guys that Zach really cares about his social media and promotes his Instagram way more than the other try guys. There’s no need to bring James Charles into this, and as Swan Song touched on, Anthony gives people 5 seconds for the sole purpose of promoting themselves, so why criticise James Charles for doing exactly that?
sometimes, i feel excluded from these spaces, though i am immunocompromised/disabled. i have type 1 diabetes, chronic pain, and some other smaller things. people keep telling me i’m overreacting but right now, this finally validated me. thank you for this, anthony. we are more than collateral damage.
defaultpigeon you are NOT overreacting!
you are definitely not overreacting. that is the internalized ableism talking! we need to fight ableism. you got this 💗
Diabetic gang 😔
T1D gang, I felt the same way! Have a great day💜
Thank you. I shared this. I’m at home, alone. I had to leave my families home because they were restarting their lives but I’m immune compromised on chemo pills and tnf biologics and recent ostomy surgery. Thank you for making me feel sane and seen
Allow us to take a moment to appreciate Jessica’s whole look like QUEEN
You should check her out. I love her videos.
I LOVE ZACH AND JESSICA YAYYY MY FAVESSSSSS!!!!
Zach with a H
yes
Isnt Jessica deaf
Didn't know Jessica till now but i think she is awesome
Love your profile picture.
My grandma passed away a year ago, January of 2019. She had been suffering with illness for many many years. She had cancer. Before her passing, she spent her last few months in hospitals. We’d go to see her everyday.
I’m happy she passed away earlier and didn’t have to go through this. Imagine having a dying family member who you couldn’t visit and take care of because of this pandemic. It’d break my heart for her to have died alone.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost both my grandparents last year and I can't imagine them being alone
I feel the same about my sister in law that battled MS and was so severely frail. I am relieved that she never had to fear this and experience the world like this. I'm asthmatic and that's stressful enough.
Same here my gran died are week before the whole country went on lock down it's as if she knew and wasn't up for it
I’m so excited to see Walela being featured on a large platform! The activism work they do is so important, and I highly recommend giving them a follow on IG/Twitter, etc.
im so glad jessica is on this episode,shes so genuine and lovely. everyone should check out her channel
I literally saw Zach Kornfeld in the title and got really excited 😂

"its genocide by negligence" damn i hate how accurate that seems 😳
I hate to burst your bubble but genocide is intentional by definition.
@@torin6258 and so? Negligence can be intentional by definition too.
@Torin finally someone who points out the difference btw negligence and intention. 👏🏼
@Rb LadyB ...no. A crime can either be negligent or intentional - and genocide is intentional by default.
Torin states are being INTENTIONALLY re-opened. NOT because it is SAFE. but because they care more about the economy than the safety of their own citizens. i live in iowa. our governor never shut the state down and now things are already reopening. IOWA HAS THE FASTEST RATE OF INCREASING CASES THAN ANY OTHER STATE RIGHT NOW. THREE OF OUR TOWNS ARE IN THE TOP TEN. THE NUMBER ONE (AND TWO i believe) BEING VERY NEAR ME. they are intentionally opening things up when it is absolutely UNSAFE and many more people are going to die and our hospitals will be even more overworked and overcrowded. so many people are going to die because the government does not give a shit about a single one of us. only the state of the economy. maybe genocide isnt quite the right word to use but come the fuck on. the reality is so fucked up so dont get so hung up on how i quoted the literal video.
Daoko Piano negligence can 100% be intentional. a parent who neglects their child?? most times NOT done by fucking accident. this pandemic?? they are INTENTIONALLY NEGLECTING the us citizens, to save their precious economy.
"Genocide by negligence." That really hurt to hear. So many people think "It's not me or those I love dyeing, why should I care?". We can't think like that. Because if we do, no one will ever help or save anyone. If we do, we have no doctors. No nurses. No fire fighters. No one to help us, or anyone, when we need them. We can't think like this. 8:50
Found the poem I was thinking of that said it perfectly. First They Came - by Pastor Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
