Journal Article
Resilient and equitable recovery from the covid-19 pandemic
2022
Overview
Politicising and ignoring science has hampered the rollout of timely and effective control measures5 while political conservatism in the US inversely associates with perceived health risk and adoption of health protective behaviours.6 Furthermore, hate speech has triggered anti-Asian racism and xenophobia in the US7 resulting in an increased level of post-traumatic stress disorder among Asian and Asian American young adults, who reported verbal or physical assault.8 Around one million excess deaths occurred in 2020 in 29 high income countries, and men have higher age standardised excess death rates than women in almost all countries.9 A study on excess mortality spanning 79 high, middle- and low-income countries shows that the privatisation of healthcare, an underfunded health sector, and slow covid-19 containment and mitigation actions are key drivers of excess deaths.10 Timely activation of comprehensive responses, adapting health systems’ capacity, preserving health systems’ resources, and reducing health systems’ vulnerability all contribute to effective country responses.11 However, untimely and ineffective containment measures against covid-19 have resulted in surges of cases and have overwhelmed healthcare systems around the world. [...]we must roll out covid-19 vaccination to at least 70% of world’s population by 2022. [...]thinking of the covid-19 pandemic as a syndemic should help us to focus our efforts on minimising the various determinants which exacerbate the consequences of covid-19 on marginalised and underserved populations.
