针对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的公共卫生应对措施强调了老年人的脆弱性，但这混淆了健康不平等的社会和政治根源。为了在新的传染病爆发期间促进卫生公平，公共卫生从业人员必须继续关注导致健康状况不佳的社会和政治环境。对于那些暴露于众多社会和政治因素的人群，如女同性恋者，男同性恋者，双性恋者，变性者或其他同性恋者（LGBTQ +）人群和移民/移民人群，尤其需要这种努力。因此，COVID-19爆发是强调健康不平等根源的关键时刻。
Public health responses to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have emphasized older adults' vulnerability, but this obfuscates the social and political root causes of health inequity. To advance health equity during a novel communicable disease outbreak, public health practitioners must continue to be attentive to social and political circumstances that inform poor health. Such efforts are especially needed for populations who are exposed to numerous social and political factors that structure health inequity, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise- queer identifying (LGBTQ +) populations and im/migrant populations. The COVID-19 outbreak is, therefore, a critical time to emphasize root causes of health inequity.
