The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in massive disruptions to public health, healthcare, as well as political and economic systems across national borders, thus requiring an urgent need to adapt. Worldwide, governments have made a range of political decisions to enforce preventive and control measures. As junior researchers analysing the pandemic through a health equity lens, we wish to share our reflections on this evolving crisis, specifically: (a) the tenuous intersections between the responses to the pandemic and public health priorities; (b) the exacerbation of health inequities experienced by vulnerable populations following decisions made at national and global levels; and (c) the impacts of the technological solutions put forward to address the crisis. Examples drawn from high-income countries are provided to support our three points.
COVID-19 大流行导致了公共卫生、医疗保健以及跨国界的政治和经济系统的大规模中断，因此需要紧急适应。在全球范围内，各国政府已经做出了一系列政治决策，以实施预防和控制措施。作为分析大流行的卫生公平性的初级研究人员，我们希望分享我们对这一不断演变的危机的思考，特别是：(a) 大流行应对措施与公共卫生重点之间的脆弱交集；(b) 国家和全球层面的决策对弱势人群造成的健康不平等加剧；以及 (c) 为应对危机而提出的技术解决方案的影响。提供了来自高收入国家的例子来支持我们的三点。
