View Comments It’s commonly heard on the news the COVID-19 pandemic has been “disproportionately hard” on people of color. That’s a big understatement. The blunt truth is that people of color are multiple times more likely than whites to have caught COVID, died from it, or have had the pandemic destroy their finances. According to a report released May 2021 from the Washington State Department of Health, African Americans were about twice as likely to get COVID and 75 percent more likely to die from it in Washington than whites. Numbers are even higher for Hispanic populations: Three times as likely to contract COVID-19 or die. American Indian and Alaska Natives had similarly bad outcomes. Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders had a death rate six times as high. While Asian Americans had the lowest age-adjusted confirmed or probable case rates of COVID-19 in the study, they had higher hospitalization and death rates than whites by about 50 percent.
