COMMENT: "All in this together": the global duty to contribute towards combating the Covid-19 pandemic.

This paper explores the unique realities and effects of Covid-19 as experienced in the global North and global South with special reference to Canada and sub-Saharan Africa; it also examines the moral responsibilities countries have towards their own people and the duty they have to work together to minimise and mitigate the devastating effects of the pandemic worldwide. We illuminate the importance of countries sharing their own world views, strengths, and expertise, and learning from one another in order to better situate all in tackling the pandemic. We argue that it is only insofar as all countries work collaboratively commensurate to each party's capacity to contribute towards the tackling of the Covid-19 pandemic that we may truly be said to be "all in this together".
