Washington Post (6/22, Goldstein) reports that income is a powerful “force along with race in determining who among the nation’s vulnerable, older population has been infected with the novel coronavirus, according to a federal analysis that lays bare stark disparities in the pandemic’s toll.” The article says these findings “echo the commonly understood pattern that black Americans are more likely to test positive for and to be hospitalized for covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, than other racial and ethnic groups.” However, “they also point to the role of poverty as the pandemic has sped through U.S.
communities in the winter and spring.” CMS Administrator Seema Verma said these disparities are a “clarion call” for policy.
