The Lingering Threat: Covid's Resurgence and the Potential for Lockdowns
Disabled and vulnerable individuals continue to face the consequences of the government's lack of official strategy and guidance on reducing Covid-19 transmission. Despite the increasing number of positive cases in England, there is a sense of denial and a desire to move on from the pandemic. Clinically vulnerable people are left without adequate protection, with limited access to vaccines and a lack of support. The abandonment of precautions in healthcare settings further endangers vulnerable patients. It is crucial to confront the virus and implement smart public health measures to protect vulnerable individuals and prevent further damage.
