Re: Poverty, health, and covid-19
Dear Editor
COVID-19 and Discrimination
The number of COVID-19 cases are less in under developed countries than the developed nations.
COVID-19 does not discriminate in infecting people based on their economic status.
Countries with more hygienic behaviours are affected more by COVID-19 in the current COVID-19 Pandemic.
But during this Pandemic poor people are more affected because of less income due to economic recession.
So people with poverty are affected with many health issues along with the COVID-19 infection during this Pandemic.
COVID-19 is the cause for discrimination even after death, whether people are rich or poor during this Pandemic.
