Abstract:
This paper explores the unique realities and effects of Covid19
as experienced in the global North and global South with special
reference to Canada and subSaharan 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 Covid19 pandemic that we may truly be said
to be “all in this together”.
