Abstract: „COVID-19 has hit many countries all over the world, and its impact on (party) politics has been undeniable. This crisis situation functions as an opportunity structure incentivising opposition forces to support the government. Not much is known about what drives opposition parties to (not) support the government in crisis situations. This article integrates the literature on rally-around-the-flag, political opportunity structures, party types and party goals. More specifically, we focus on the behaviour of opposition parties towards the government's crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyse whether and how the party type influences the position of the party vis-à-vis the governmental coalition, focusing on the case of Belgium. We categorise the seven opposition parties in Belgium as challenger or mainstream parties and explain their behaviour on the basis of policy-, office- or vote-seeking motives. Our analysis is based on party voting behaviour, elite interviews and an analysis of the main plenary debates.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „Introduction: Belgium has noted a significant excess mortality during the first COVID-19 wave. Research in other countries has shown that people with migrant origin are disproportionally affected. Belgium has an ethnically diverse and increasingly ageing population and is therefore particularly apt to study differential mortality by migrant group during this first wave of COVID-19. Data and methods: We used nationwide individually-linked data from the Belgian National Register providing sociodemographic indicators and mortality; and the administrative census of 2011 providing indicators of socioeconomic position. Age-standardized all-cause mortality rates (ASMRs) were calculated during the first COVID-19 wave (weeks 11-20 in 2020) and compared with ASMRs during weeks 11-20 in 2019 to calculate excess mortality by migrant origin, age and gender. For both years, relative inequalities were calculated by migrant group using Poisson regression, with and without adjustment for sociodemographic and socioeconomic indicators. Results: Among the middle-aged, ASMRs revealed increased mortality in all origin groups, with significant excess mortality for Belgians and Sub-Saharan African men. At old age, excess mortality up to 60% was observed for all groups. In relative terms, most male elderly migrant groups showed higher mortality than natives, as opposed to 2019 and to women. Adding the control variables decreased this excess mortality. Discussion: This study underlined important inequalities in overall and excess mortality in specific migrant communities, especially in men. Tailor-made policy measures and communication strategies should be set-up taking into account the particular risks to which groups are exposed.“

Abstract: „As a part of measures taken to contain the spread of the coronavirus, sex work was barred in the Netherlands between 23 March and 1 July 2020, as well as between 15 december 2020 and 19 May 2021. Shortly after the start of the first lockdown, many sex workers appeared to be in increasingly precarious situations. They lost their main source of income but were largely excluded from receiving financial support provided by the Dutch government. This article examines the situation of sex workers during the first lockdown and in the weeks after they were permitted to resume work.“

Abstract: „Dit artikel brengt de juridische grondslag voor de door de Curaçaose regering genomen maatregelen ter bestrijding van COVID-19 in kaart. Elk overheidsoptreden dient te berusten op kenbare en voldoende algemene wettelijke regels en grondrechten dienen door de overheid te worden geëerbiedigd. Ook onder grote druk en in tijden van nood waarin snel en adequaat handelen door de overheid is geboden, zal de rechtsstaat gerespecteerd moeten worden. De getroffen maatregelen begin 2020 in Curaçao verhouden zich echter niet altijd even goed tot de beginselen van de democratische rechtsstaat.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „This essay is a historical reflection on epidemiological statistics and the ways in which these represent health in a collective way. It compares the use of such statistics in the current COVID-19 epidemic with the use of numbers during the cholera outbreaks of the nineteenth century. Its main point is that health statistics have been (and still are) fundamental to the establishment of a notion of ‘public health’ and to the construction of epidemics as social events. At the same time, such statistics – located as they are at the intersection of science, media, and politics – struggle to take into account people’s often very different individual experiences of coping with disease. While today more varied health data is circulated to a wider audience, and at a far higher speed than in the past, the format of constructing an epidemic through statistics is still very much present, including some of the limitations inherent to this approach (e.g. generalizations about social groups).“
