Abstract

Four rounds of surveys of slum dwellers in Dhaka city during the 2020-21 COVID-19 pandemic raise questions about whether the slum dwellers possess some form of immunity to the effects of COVID-19? If the working poor of Bangladesh are practically immune to COVID-19, why has this question not been more actively investigated? We shed light on some explanations for these pandemic questions and draw attention to the role of intellectual elites and public policy, suggesting modifications needed for pandemic research.
