  • More about Unequal Pandemic: COVID-19 and Health Inequalities

This book dispels the myth of COVID-19 as an 'equal opportunity disease' by showing how it is a syndemic of disease and inequality. It argues that the pandemic is unequal in three ways: it has killed unequally, been experienced unequally, and will impoverish unequally. These inequalities are a political choice, and we need to learn from COVID-19 to prevent growing inequality and reduce health inequalities in the future.

This accessible yet authoritative book dispels the myth of COVID-19 as an "equal opportunity disease," by showing how the pandemic is a syndemic of disease and inequality. Drawing on international data and accounts, it argues that the pandemic is unequal in three ways: it has killed unequally, been experienced unequally, and will impoverish unequally. These inequalities are a political choice: with governments effectively choosing who lives and who dies, we need to learn from COVID-19 quickly to prevent growing inequality and to reduce health inequalities in the future.
