COVID-19 has exposed health inequity; how can Racine address it?


RACINE — Health disparities locally and nationwide are more obvious amid COVID-19.
While health results across the board remain worse for people of color in the U.S., they’re especially bad when it comes to COVID-19. Compared to whites, African Americans were 10% more likely to catch COVID-19, 190% more likely to be hospitalized for it and 90% more likely to die from it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Similarly, comparing outcomes of Latino or Hispanic people to whites, the chance of contracting COVID-19 was 30% higher, chance of hospitalization was 210% higher, and chance of death was 130% greater.
