Public health agencies and governments around the world have acted in response to the ever-growing numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths. However, deaths from many causes occur every day and are not distributed evenly across societies. How do deaths from COVID-19 compare to deaths due to inequalities, and how do the government’s responses compare? Anna Pearce and Linsay Gray from the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit, University of Glasgow, talk to Ruth Dundas (from the same Unit) about recent blog post 'Prioritising population health - contrasting UK government responses to pandemic'.
