Julia Lynch (PARC) co-authored a new book, The Unequal Pandemic: COVID-19 and Health Inequalities, which examines the effects of government action and politics on health inequalities. The book shows how the COVID-19 pandemic is a syndemic of disease and inequality. Drawing on international data and accounts, the authors argue that the pandemic is unequal in three ways: it has killed unequally, been experienced unequally and will impoverish unequally.
