Disabled people's exclusion from indoor spaces is a civil rights violation, not an annoyance

"Let’s start with the title.

“Wrestling with my husband’s fear of getting Long COVID again” at NPR today
right away frames the author’s problem as her “husband’s fear.”

Not the unchecked, year-round spread of COVID-19.

Not the national and international abandonment of disabled people and hundreds
of millions of people with Long COVID symptoms.

Not her social milieu, which refuses to understand or acknowledge that
vulnerable people are at significant risk of harm from COVID infection.

Not the press, which has spent several years manufacturing consent for
recurrent, endless COVID infections.

Not the rampant ADA violations of a society that has knowingly stripped
millions of their ability to safely enter public spaces.

Not the wholesale destruction of public health at the hands of a politically
captured CDC.

No, the problem she is struggling with is that her husband, who developed
Long COVID symptoms after a 2022 infection, keeps asking her to take COVID
precautions so he does not get reinfected and potentially become sicker and
long-term disabled."
