6. How (if at all) are health disparities, or other equity issues addressed in the article or report? The disparity in the monitored data and feelings from public are discussed in the article. Although the individual feeling may be micro, the feelings from more people could be a macro reality. 文章讲述了监测数据与民众反应的不一致。感受虽然是微观的，但大家的感受组合起来，可能就反映了宏观的真实。
