Before the pandemic really struck, a spotlight was already being shone on the stark inequities of the social determinants of health in England. Marmot’s Health Equity in England Report, published the same month as the first confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the UK, made for bleak reading: since 2010, life expectancy has stalled nationally (for the first time since 1900) and has even declined for the most deprived groups in society. Boys and girls born into the poorest ten percent of the population are expected to live 19 fewer years in good health than if they were born in the richest 10%. Covid-19 is already widening these stark inequalities, dispelling the myth espoused by the government, of the virus as a “great leveller.”
