1. La pandemia como un evento generador de discapacidad masiva.
El documento destaca cómo el COVID-19 ha transformado la salud pública global, convirtiéndose en un motor constante de nuevas discapacidades crónicas y condiciones de salud a largo plazo.
- Once again for those not paying attention we are also still in a pandemic which has been described as a mass disabling event.
- The covid pandemic was a mass disabling event. People continue to develop covid-related disability.
- Were still in a pandemic. Every wave creates more people with long covid. Disability will tick up several times a year until our governments face up to this.
2. Capacitismo sistémico y la retórica de la eugenesia moderna.
Se denuncia una percepción social donde las personas con discapacidades o condiciones preexistentes son vistas como sacrificables en favor de la economía y el retorno a la normalidad.
- If covid has taught us anything its that a large number of people still see the disabled as expendable how many times have we heard covid is mild unless you have pre-existing conditions.
- The pandemic conditioned people to see the disabled as acceptable losses i have said this so often.
- It also doesnt surprise but alarms me how disabled people are targeted noweugenics never went away, and is in full force esp with this pandemic.
3. Crisis en los sistemas de beneficios y seguridad social.
El aumento en las solicitudes de beneficios por incapacidad es analizado como una consecuencia lógica de una enfermedad viral persistente, a pesar de la falta de reconocimiento oficial.
- It really should not be a surprise to anyone that a pandemic has caused, and continues to cause disability on a massive scale.
- The explosion in ppl claiming disability benefits since the pandemic suggests a problem in the definitions of disability.
- Government lets let a pandemic run wild and make people sick and disabled also government omg why is everyone sick and disabled.
4. El retroceso en las medidas de accesibilidad y teletrabajo.
Los testimonios lamentan que las adaptaciones de accesibilidad logradas durante el confinamiento fueran retiradas una vez que dejaron de ser necesarias para la población general.
- Watching workplaces during the pandemic quickly adapt to the remote working solutions disabled people have been pleading for for years, and then watching those same workplaces whip those accommodations away now abled people no longer need them.
- Im still angry that all the provisions for accessibility that were put into practice during the pandemic have been taken away again.
- One of the hardest pills to swallow after the pandemic is how easy it was to create tons of accommodations when abled people needed them, but as soon as they became exclusively needed by disabled people they were just as easily thrown away.
5. Aislamiento social y el impacto en la salud mental.
La persistencia del virus y la falta de precauciones colectivas, como el uso de mascarillas, han forzado a la comunidad vulnerable a un aislamiento prolongado y a la pérdida de redes de apoyo.
- The loneliness of the ongoing pandemic as a disabled person is really getting to me lately.
- Disabled people have been shunned from society for five years due to this pandemic. Many disabled people have been abandoned by friends, family, work, school, and even medical settings.
- Counting how many disabled friends we have lost from community over the last few pandemic years - from my circles, its dozens. It feels like an apocalypse.
