Nothing opens up a gaping chasm like a pandemic; be it the Black Death in Europe, Ebola in parts of Africa or HIV in the United States, health issues can widen the gaps between rich and poor and the poor and the penniless. These are structural divides shaped by the lack of five S's
These five S's are Sustainable access to a strong health system in the private and public sector, strong Surveillance of the well-being of a person and their family once they have been exposed to the pandemic, the Silent prejudice against pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers, (in)Superable attempts to stop oneself from being tested negative again and again and, finally, the Suspension of one's ability to rejoin the workforce or even society without being discriminated as a Covid-19 patient.
