In class, we looked at two pandemics, AIDS and COVID, to understand how ethical concerns were identified and addressed during those times. For this assignment, pick a topic to compare and contrast between the two. This could be something that you found similar between AIDS and COVID, or something that occurred during one event that hasn’t occurred in the other. Here is a list of ideas for you to start with, but feel free to choose anything even if it doesn’t fit into these general topics:
-Lay expertise
-Public health response
-Disability and ableism
-Racism in medicine
-Racism in public policy
-Publicity and communications
-Privilege and inclusion
Your analysis should be 1,000-1,200 words, citing at least 2 items from the class to describe the topic you chose. This includes essays, podcasts, videos etc.
