These disabled individuals need safety protections in place such as masks and social distancing.Īt the same time, universal mask requirements present difficulties for some people with disabilities who cannot wear masks either at all or for an extended period of time. 4 The risks are far greater for older adults and BIPOC with these conditions. Examples include people with lung disease, asthma, heart conditions, diabetes, kidney disease, or liver disease, people who are immunocompromised, and higher weight people. These requirements function to protect individuals who have disabilities that place them at high risk of a serious or life-threatening outcome from COVID-19 infection. 3Īs a result, many businesses, employers, and governments have begun requiring universal face coverings. Face coverings reduce the wearer’s likelihood of projecting droplets into the air, thereby reducing the risk that the wearer will transmit COVID-19 to others. Given this method of contagion, the CDC has recommended universal cloth masks or other face coverings, including their use by people who are not medically at risk. These droplets are emitted when people talk, cough, sneeze, or breathe. 1 COVID-19 is transmitted from person to person primarily through droplets in the air. The COVID-19 pandemic poses a serious risk to public health, especially the health of people with disabilities, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) with disabilities.

It's like someone is following me with a wheelbarrow and shoveling dirt into the tub.Īfter complaining to the company my ford dealer used to supply and fit the canopy (TJM) about this obvious shortcoming, the company assures me they are all like this.The COVID-19 pandemic poses a serious risk to public health, especially the health of people with disabilities, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) with disabilities. I can literally see the cars following me through the gaps in my rear-view mirror, I can't wash the car without everything inside the tub getting wet and the amount of dust that gets in through those rodent sized gaps is ludicrous.

Read more s later the rear tailgate hatch still fits so poorly that rodents can easily get in through the massive gap between the Ute tailgate and canopy tailgate, it seems the rubbers are merely for decoration as they don't even come close to meeting to do anything important like perhaps letting water, dust or a small dog in.

On delivery I noticed a poorly fitting rear tailgate hatch, but was assured by the dealer the rubbers just needed to settle in. The Flexiglass Flexisport canopy has been nothing but trouble from day one. Instead, this is the heap of junk I ended up with.

I asked my Ford dealer for a canopy with central locking to all windows (something like the ARB Ascent was my exact words) when I purchased my new Ford Ranger Wildtrak earlier this year thinking it would probably be like the Ford branded one on display in the dealership at the time.
