Racial Gaps Rise in COVID Death Toll Through July 2020
CDC analysis shows about 215 000 excess deaths through July 2020 with people of color making up roughly 52 percent of excess deaths though they are under 40 percent of the population. Asians, Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans face the largest relative increases while whites rise less than overall. The pandemic’s toll reflects structural inequality and data gaps across regions and races.
