Recognizing and Rectifying Historical Injustices
Recognizing and rectifying historical injustices also necessitates collection and disaggregation of data on coronavirus testing, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome by"race" and ethnicity so that the impacts of those historical injustices can be recognized and addressed. Once a metric of need is established and agreed upon, it would then seem simple to take all available resources and distribute them according to that metric of need. However, even in the clear current situation of New York, topping out these measures of need all around, there is not a rapid deployment of national resources to the city. Other jurisdictions are holding on to theirs because of projected need in a few weeks.
This pandemic will not end in days or weeks. It could be a year, maybe 18 months. By then, the world will have faced immeasurable loss in terms of life. And economies will need to get back into gear. But maybe the lesson that we are all human and all vulnerable will have sunken through to those who feel better than, or removed from, or insulated from the conditions of others.
