Beskrivning
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately harmed members of already disadvantaged and vulnerable communities. Focusing on five communities in the US with comparative data from other countries - children, older adults, women, people of color, and those who are incarcerated - The Unequal Pandemic explains why. The book points to the inadequacies of the public policies adopted to respond to the pandemic, evaluating their effectiveness and compliance with ethical norms and human rights obligations. By assessing the failures of the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, the book outlines needed policy changes to rectify current disparities and respond more effectively in future health emergencies.
