English term or phrase: Leveler
The BBC’s Emily Maitlis was rightly lauded last night for debunking the myth that coronavirus is a great leveler. That it went viral shows the popular appetite there is not to whitewash our grotesque social inequalities.

Translation of the whole paragraph would be appreciated!

Arabic translation:مُزيل للفوارق
Explanation:
A leveler in this context means more than just "fair" or "just" or "nondiscriminatory" or "does not distinguish between people." It rather means that it has the effect of bringing people from different stations in life all to the same level. Those who are in high stations are brought low so that their high stations no longer matter because now they are in the same bunker with the rest of us.

A great leveler = مُزيل عظيم للفوارق، أو ماسح عظيم للفوارق
