Hi Robert,
I sure hope you are feeling ok. Please stay in and safe.
I am glad you took time for the survey. I thought it was interesting and I
think the coalition of groups who are sponsoring the survey will use the
results to help form good policy in upcoming Covid19 relief legislation. I am
concerned with the possible loosening of regulations for blind students who are
now being taught online. I am also concerned about the use of blindness, or
other disability, to decide who gets a ventilator in case of shortages. One of
our members in Detroit was refused service at a drive through window at a
Burgher King.
So, you take care of yourself and be safe.
Warmest Regards,
Fred

Hello,
I have never lived through a time in America like this. I suppose that is
redundant to say. Further, it has never occurred to me that such an event
would happen in my lifetime. Fortunately, I feel pretty confident at the
moment. I was a little uneasy in the beginning. I read too many science
fiction books, so I am a little wary. I also know how America came through the
Great Depression and World War II and the Civil War. We are resilient and
imaginative along with proud and protective of our rights. Things will be
uncertain, but, eventually, things will return to some kind of normal.
I just completed the survey. It does not seem to be biased or tilted toward
any interest, except to help identify ways that the Virus situation is
impacting people who are blind and possible ways to improve accessibility. It
is kind of long and will definitely take 30 minutes to complete. My schedule
is not really blocked up for the next few days so I took time to do it.
There is a drawing for some 20 dollar Amazon gift cards for those who complete
the survey.
I definitely recommend that anyone concerned with shopping, help with students
classes, voting and/or transportation take the survey. There are lots of
places to make comments and suggestions. I have confidence that the results
will be used in Congress to help make sure blind people are considered when
making new policies. If you are concerned that disability will be used as a
way to decide who gets medical treatment, this survey has a section on that
where you can express your concerns. Just like voting, if you don’t
participate, you will be stuck with everyone else’s choices and you will not be
heard.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at
<mailto:f.wurtzel@xxxxxxx> f.wurtzel@xxxxxxx or on Facebook. I will answer
questions about the survey if I know the answer. I have no personal interest
other than to help provide input to decision-makers about the needs of blind
folks in getting through this difficult time.
When you feel overwhelmed, turn on your favorite music, I prefer loud with a
strong percussion and some great guitars. The blues bring me joy. I hope you
have something like this to help you feel better when you need it.
Please share this with any blind or low vision person that you think would want
to help.
Warmest Regards,
Fred
