The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic in Pakistan necessitated that the Centre of Biomedical Ethics and Culture in Karachi realign its activities to changing realities in the country. As Pakistan's only bioethics center, and with no guidelines available for allocation of scarce medical resources, CBEC developed "Guidelines for Ethical Healthcare Decision-Making in Pakistan" with input from medical and civil society stakeholders. The CBEC blog connected to the center's bioethics programs for students from Pakistan and Kenya shifted to Covid-related issues specific to the context of existing social and political realities within these countries. As part of its outreach activities, CBEC initiated a popular Facebook series, #HumansofCovid, as an experience-sharing platform for health care professionals and members of the public. Narratives received vary from those by frustrated physicians under quarantine to those concerning street vendors left jobless and a transsexual person in whose opinion "social distancing" is not a new phenomenon for their communities.
新冠疫情在巴基斯坦的爆发，使得卡拉奇生物医学伦理与文化中心需要调整其活动，以适应国内不断变化的现实情况。作为巴基斯坦唯一的生物伦理学中心，在缺乏稀缺医疗资源分配指南的情况下，CBEC 在医学和民间社会利益攸关方的参与下，制定了“巴基斯坦医疗保健决策的伦理准则”。该中心与学生相关的博客，以及肯尼亚学生的生物伦理学课程，都已转向与两国现有社会和政治现实背景相关的新冠相关问题。作为其外展活动的一部分，CBEC 发起了一个广受欢迎的 Facebook 系列#HumansofCovid，作为一个医疗保健专业人员和公众分享经验的平台。收到的叙述从隔离状态下感到沮丧的医生，到失业的街头小贩，再到一名变性人，他们认为“社交距离”对他们的社区来说并不是一个新现象。
