The community has moved on but the virus hasn’t – leaving us trapped and exposed

‘National cabinet needs to recognise that people with a disability, older people and immunocompromised people have been trapped for almost three years now,’ writes disability advocate Craig Wallace.‘National cabinet needs to recognise that people with a disability, older people and immunocompromised people have been trapped for almost three years now,’ writes disability advocate Craig Wallace.Last modified on Thu 6 Oct 2022 04.

We call on governments to commit to actions which protect people with disabilities, older Australians, sick and immunocompromised people and low-income workers. These include making public places such as schools, hospitals, offices and community facilities as Covid-safe as possible through air purification and mask use.

We also need long Covid recognised by the NDIS and aged care packages, and for income support and Medicare purposes. Let’s see a commitment to implement the findings of the long Covid inquiry as well as clear clinical, rehabilitation and referral pathways. Widened access to telehealth, a beacon of progress in the pandemic, needs to continue.

why should the public be funding people to be sick at home? excuses excuses for free money

Actually it’s a gut punch to everyone. Most Australians have had a bout of Covid which , ergo puts you in the vulnerable category. Kids are being infected , human rights violated

So the solution is isolation periods forever then? What other viruses do we do this for?
