There are two major lessons to be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Alice Wong, founder and director of the Disability Visibility project. First, we must stop striving for a return to some form of pre-COVID 'normality', because really, it wasn't that great for everyone. Instead, it left so many people out of the conversation about how to solve the crisis — marginalized people, scientists, people with disabilities.
The second lesson is that we now have a chance to rethink the world, to re-envision the future and this time, we, as a global community, can't afford to turn anyone away.
