Black Michiganders with COVID-19 suffer worse health, socioeconomic outcomes than whites
Black COVID-19 survivors experience worse outcomes related to care access, recovery, and social and economic factors when compared to their white counterparts, according to research on the impact of COVID-19 on Michiganders.
The work, part of the Michigan COVID-19 Recovery Surveillance Study, is being conducted through a partnership with the University of Michigan School of Public Health and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Researchers hope data from the study will inform future response and health equity efforts for the ongoing pandemic as well as future public health crises.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) Democratic lawmakers called Monday for a quick up-or-down vote on disbursing $5 billion in federal coronavirus relief throughout Michigan, saying the funding should not be delayed by Republicans pushing to curtail state-issued COVID-19 restrictions.
The aid was enacted by Congress and then-President Donald Trump five weeks ago. It includes money for vaccine distribution, virus testing, food and rental assistance, and education. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and legislators have proposed also using state funds to help schools and restaurants, which resumed indoor dining Monday after a 2 1/2-month ban.
The House GOP last week outlined a $3.5 billion supplemental plan that would withhold nearly $1.8 billion in federal K-12 aid unless the Democratic governor signs a law ceding the state health department’s authority to prohibit in-person instruction and sports to local health departments. Counties could only bar the activities if certain case, testing
