Even as COVID-19 leaves its mark across the length and breadth of the United States, we know that some communities are being hit harder than others.

Health / Compared With Whites, The Health Status Of Ethnic Minorities Is Relatively Poor by TaliyahR: 7:02am On Oct 22, 2020
In U.S.,this disproportionate inequality of COVID-19 and its impact on minorities is tragic but not surprising. Minorities have long suffered from relatively poorer health conditions, shorter longevity, and less access to timely and good quality health care than whites. These enduring disparities in health status and care are mainly due to what are commonly referred to social determinants of health–factors largely out of the control of individuals–and include discrimination, much lower incomes and household wealth, residing in lower quality housing often in neighborhoods afflicted by disproportionately greater exposure to environmental threats like air pollution and toxic waste sites, higher crime rates, lower quality schools and child care.

Increased coronavirus cases and deaths among African Americans can be linked to the same factors that are affecting other minority communities. Discrimination exists in systems meant to protect well-being or health, including healthcare, housing, education, criminal justice, and finance. Discrimination, which includes racism, can lead to chronic and toxic stress, and shapes social and economic factors that put some people from racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk for COVID-19 .
Health / Americans Are Also Hard by TaliyahR: 3:49am On Oct 18, 2020
All over the country, smaller controversies and policy choices also worsen the health of black Americans and weaken their ability to stay safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
