America does a crappy job taking care of handicapped citizens, and the pandemic just highlights all our problems.

Visually impaired face new challenges navigating a world remade by COVID-19

It's hard to tell if someone is six feet away when you can't see, and masks make it difficult to hear and understand people.

Of course California allegedly does a lot in terms of helping people with special needs, and they cant make it work.
So maybe we're a nation of incompetent assholes?

What is your complaint, and how have other nations fared in... I presume, tending to special needs in a time of crisis?

The difficulties described therein don't sound unique to us.

Hell, this country won't even recognize obvious mental illness. See current state of affairs.

ummm...we were the country that refused to join the United Nations accord on the treatment of disabled people, even though it was completely based on the ADA, because freedumb. What makes you think much of this country REALLY cares about the disabled.

What is your complaint

It's in the thread title.

Lol you guys don't give a shit about regular citizens and you think you'll treat disabled better?

Lol. Omg, too funny. OP makes raging bash America post without pointing out how other countries are handling it. As expected, more trolls pile on and no solution offered - just keep bashing.

It was asked before, what are other countries doing to help the blind? The link that was posted seemed to be an advertisement for the Braille Institute.

After checking a few sites, it doesn't seem like many other countries are doing much either. The solution seems to be that we need more apps for the blind and deaf. I am open to change if someone else can find other, better links to what countries are doing to accommodate the deaf and blind during Covid. Otherwise, keep on whining.
