In the past few weeks, public health officials and the media have drawn our attention to the huge racial, ethnic, and economic gap surrounding COVID-19. Blacks and American Indians have the highest death rates. Nationwide, blacks are 2.4 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than non-Latino whites, and in some states, the death rate is seven times higher. The damage suffered by the Navajo people is particularly severe. The death rates of the indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico are 5-7 times higher. A closer look at California’s statistics reveals that the death rate among Latin Americans between the ages of 35-49 is depressing. They account for 74% of all COVID-19 deaths in this age group.

The latest data from Chicago and Louisiana show that among people of color, especially black and Latino patients, the proportion of deaths from Covid-19 is too high. Although black people only accounted for 22% of the New York City population, as of mid-April, they accounted for 28% of deaths from the virus. In Chicago, blacks make up 30% of the population and 70% of blacks killed by Covid-19. In Louisiana, blacks make up 32% of the population, but 70% of people die of this disease.

An analysis of the medical records of people whose doctors have checked for the new coronavirus shows that the infection has exacerbated existing socio-economic inequalities.

The coronavirus pandemic has disproportionately affected minority communities in the United States. The CDC has not yet shown a complete classification of coronavirus cases by race and ethnicity, but a study in May 2020 showed that the incidence of coronavirus cases in most black counties is three times that of most white counties, and the death rate Almost 6 times that of the white majority counties.

Louisiana Governor John Bell Edwards announced last week under intense public pressure that 70% of COVID-19 deaths in the state were black residents

The virus has no nationality or race. But in the United States, the new crown virus has caused a large number of black deaths in particular. The risk of black deaths in Chicago is seven times that of whites, and the death rate of blacks is high. The epidemic reflects the suffering of American society.
