Welcome to the (post-)apocalypse, where long COVID has disabled the masses. Follow disabled philosopher of disability Élaina Gauthier-Mamaril as she explores the landscape of chronic care past and present to better imagine disabled futures. Disability communities are warning us that an age of enhanced eugenics is nigh; people are being told their symptoms are not real; official public health messaging is that the pandemic is over; treating people living with long COVID is far from straightforward. Let a philosopher lead the investigation, if you dare.
