Blog: A Journey Through The Fog: "How the World Became More Accessible During the Covid-19 Pandemic"

"Over the past year through the lockdowns and many restrictions, while healthy non-disabled people have often felt isolated, lonely and frustrated, many of us who are disabled and chronically ill have felt more connected to the outside world than we have in years.

It’s been over a year now since the first Covid-19 lockdown. I have written before about how the changes put in place to accommodate these restrictions made the world more accessible to me – so much I had previously been excluded from became available online.

But as lockdown restrictions ease and things start to return to ‘normal’ I am concerned these accessibility changes will be removed, and we, in the disabled community will once again be excluded and forgotten.

This post serves the purpose of highlighting exactly how these accessibility changes positively impacted our lives, and why we need them to stay post-Covid."
