People with functional disability endure barriers to health and other services and to full participation in social life. In the context of COVID-19, this discrimination has been intensified worldwide. We examine how the experience of COVID-19 lockdown was depicted in comments to a video about functional disability and COVID published on VICE's YouTube channel. We analysed the first 100 comments on the video, which was posted in spring 2020, during the first COVID-19 lockdown (roughly from March to June 2020, with some variations around the world). We identified four themes: lack of access to care and services, isolation and lifestyle changes, mental health consequences, and peer support. Legal regulations regarding COVID-19 and people with functional disability have not been sufficient in most countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed inadequate care systems, even in Western countries with advanced social protection policies.
功能障碍者在获得健康和其他服务以及全面参与社会生活方面面临障碍。在 COVID-19 背景下，这种歧视在全球范围内加剧了。我们研究了在 VICE 频道的 YouTube 上发布的关于功能障碍和 COVID 的视频评论中，是如何描述 COVID-19 封锁的经历的。我们分析了该视频的前 100 条评论，该视频于 2020 年春季发布，正值 COVID-19 第一次封锁期间（大致在 2020 年 3 月至 6 月，在全球范围内存在一些差异）。我们确定了四个主题：无法获得护理和服务、孤立和生活方式的改变、心理健康后果和同伴支持。大多数国家关于 COVID-19 和功能障碍者的法律规定都不够充分。COVID-19 大流行暴露了不完善的护理系统，即使在拥有先进社会保护政策的西方国家也是如此。
