If one thing is clear, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing inequities across social determinants of health. Cities and urban environments tend to have large gaps in health care accessibility and correspondent health care disparities. Despite the existence of localized public health infrastructure, such infrastructure tends to be fragmented and cannot fully encompass the level of nuance within its patient population as a result. As such, health care inequities are cyclically perpetuated in part through discontinuous health systems. Smarter, patient-centric approaches are needed to move the needle forward and improve at-risk populations’ clinical care and associated outcomes. While technology is often thought of as the proprietor to achieve this goal, low-cost educational interventions and updated guidelines may serve as equally reliable or even better methods to attain this outcome.

In “Open Everything” published in The Atlantic on February 9th, 2022, Yascha Mounk discusses his arguments for lifting any remaining COVID-19 restrictions to “shake off the pandemic malaise.” He asserts that we are “in danger of prolonging the status quo more than is justifiable” and that “the time to end pandemic restrictions is now.” The broad strokes that Mounk makes are diametrically opposed to substantiated public health policy that currently exists as well as the minutiae of circumstances relative to COVID-19 when viewed from an equitable lens. I find his claims to be inattentive to the differences in American public health infrastructure that exist at local, city, and state levels, and come from a place of privilege tied to educational status and economic freedom that not all Americans are necessarily privy to.
