The crisis of Covid-19 has forced us to notice two things: our human interdependence and American society's tolerance for what Nancy Krieger has called "inequalities embodied in health inequities," reflected in data on Covid-19 mortality and geographies. Care is integral to our recovery from this catastrophe and to the development of sustainable public health policies and practices that promote societal resilience and reduce the vulnerabilities of our citizens. Drawing on the insights of Joan Tronto and Eva Feder Kittay, we argue that the ethics of care offers a critical alternative to utilitarian and deontological approaches and provides a street-ready framework for integration into public health deliberations to anchor public policy and investments concerning the recovery and future well-being of America's citizens and society.
Covid-19 危机迫使我们注意到两件事：我们人类的相互依存关系，以及美国社会对南希·克里格 (Nancy Krieger) 所说的“健康不平等中体现的不平等”的容忍，这反映在 Covid-19 死亡率和地理位置的数据上。在这场灾难中，关怀是我们康复的关键，也是制定可持续公共卫生政策和实践的关键，这些政策和实践可以促进社会的复原力，减少公民的脆弱性。借鉴琼·特隆特 (Joan Tronto) 和伊娃·费德·基特伊 (Eva Feder Kittay) 的观点，我们认为，关怀伦理为功利主义和义务论方法提供了一个关键的替代方案，并为将其纳入公共卫生审议提供了一个可行的框架，以确定公共政策和投资，关注美国公民和社会的复苏和未来福祉。
