Analysis: Covid exposed massive inequality - Britain cannot return to 'normal'

15 December 2020
The more deprived the area, the higher the mortality rate – for all causes of death. We have to rebuild a fairer society, argues Professor Sir Michael Marmot (UCL Epidemiology & Health).
In 2017, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. The official number of casualties as a result of the storm is 64. But take into account the longer-term consequences – devastated infrastructure, overwhelmed hospitals – and the death toll rises to the thousands. When we look closely at these figures, we see something else too: two months afterwards, mortality had risen sharply for the lowest socioeconomic group, somewhat for the middle group, and least for the highest group. A huge external shock had thrust the underlying inequalities in society into sharp relief.
