Abstract
[Extract:] The most serious pandemic of the globalised age has had tremendous consequences, both physical and psychological, for the world’s population. Few people have remained unaffected, although it is undeniable that certain individuals and groups have suffered more than others. Many journalists and medical professionals have highlighted the disproportionately high mortality rates among ethnic minorities in several nations (Pareek et al., 2020), while others have decried the severity of the psychological impact that social distancing has had on individuals struggling with mental health issues (Yao et al., 2020). There can be no doubt that COVID-19 is everyone’s problem. Yet, it is vitally important to mitigate and leverage differences in vulnerability and resilience respectively if we are to minimise the total cost of this terrible illness.
