Why COVID-19 is deadlier for black, latino Californians
On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom said California was “a few weeks away, not months away, from making measurable and meaningful changes to our stay at home order.”
As of Monday, according to the available data, Latinos made up 64.9% of the COVID-19 deaths among patients age 18 to 49, and 43.5% of that overall population. In the same age group, 15.3% of the people who died were black, while just 6.3% of the overall population is black. But we particularly worry when we see trends, which tell us something, at a systems level, is happening. So, by understanding those trends, we see an opportunity to address inequity.
The next thing we did to understand things better was to stratify the numbers by age. That helps us account for the fact that Latinos are a younger population than whites. But that alone doesn’t explain it. We also know there are populations that have baseline risk — like higher rates of things like obesity and asthma — that may be contributing to deaths.
Do you anticipate that once testing ramps up, particularly in communities with many Latino agricultural or industrial workers, the number of cases will rise and widen those disparities even more?
