Notes

¹ In their article, “Covid-19: We are not ‘all in it together’ – less privileged in society are suffering the brunt of the damage” (May 22, 2020), Margaret Whitehead, Ben Barr, and David Taylor-Robinson write: “The social spaces that people are forced to inhabit as a result of poverty makes them more likely to be exposed to infection. Many low-paid jobs involve close personal contact – health and social care workers, shop and food outlet assistants, factory-floor workers, the gig economy. Living conditions for low-income groups may be more cramped and over-crowded, and neighborhoods more densely populated. Differential exposure may be an important reason for these inequalities, but not the whole picture.”
