When COVID-19 initially began to rage across the globe, it was described as an equal opportunity killer that didn’t differentiate between hosts – everyone was vulnerable. It quickly became apparent that not everyone was impacted in the same way. While the virus itself does not discriminate, our responses to it – geographically, socioeconomically, and politically – have resulted in vastly different outcomes. The past 18 months have exposed massive inequalities at both the national and international levels when it comes to combating the virus.
This evening’s panel will examine some of the most disappointing and surprising developments in COVID responsiveness and to ask essential questions to better understand what role resources, ideology, and geography have played in creating such divergent responses and to discuss what can be done to level the playing field going forward.
