COVID-19's Disproportionate Impact

The current COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on all of us. Coronavirus which has
been around since 2019, has caused a major impact throughout the society. From theoretical
analogy to finding out the cure to this pandemic, the world has surely changed in so many ways
in just a span of year. Today people have gone from many different racial disagreements to
having one goal- and that is to put an end to this or even just help in any way by the research
they make and the innovative ideas they create. the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant
disruption and hardship in nearly every aspect of our lives.

The pandemic's impact and repercussions, on the other hand, are felt differently
depending on our status as people and members of society. While some people try to work
from home, homeschool their children, and buy meals from Delivery services, others are forced
to be exposed to the virus in order to keep society going. Our social identities and the social
groupings to which we belong define our social inclusion and, as a result, our vulnerability to
epidemics. It helps us translate wants and social problems into rights in this analysis by
concentrating our attention on the larger sociopolitical structural environment as the source of
social problems. All persons, who are the primary rights-holders, have an essential dignity and
worth that is emphasized by human rights.

According to the World Health Organization’s report Closing the Gap in a Generation:
Health Equity through Action on the Social Determinants of Health, “poor and unequal living
conditions are the consequences of deeper structural conditions that together fashion the way
societies are organized—poor social policies and programs, unfair economic arrangements, and
bad politics.”

The pandemic is concentrated in high-density urban areas, which are, for the most part,
locations where marginalized and minority people live. These concentrations impact greatly on
people and already overloaded hospitals in these areas during the COVID-19 outbreak. For
those who are imprisoned or for the millions of people who live in dense communities with
precarious or insecure housing, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water, the most
recommended strategies to control the spread of COVID-19—social distancing and frequent
hand washing—are not always practical.

It's important that we collect data that's accurate, consistent, and disaggregated by
race, age, gender, and socioeconomic status. In addition to enhancing public trust, such data
can be used to better understand the full scope of the pandemic's impact and how multiple
systems of inequality interact, affecting the lives of minorities and others. It is also crucial that
such information be made widely available in order to raise public awareness of the problem
and inform public policies and interventions. It necessarily requires the establishment of
policies and programs that promote the right to health in practice by both government and
non-government actors. It advocates for a common commitment to all people's rights to justice
and equality.
