Summary
Nearly 142,000 Black people in the U.S. died of Covid, accounting for 14 percent of the countryâs Covid deaths, according to data from the CDC.In cities like Chicago, Black residents accounted for almost 70 percent of the deaths in the early months of the pandemic, while making up just 30 percent of the cityâs population. (Paul Ratje / AFP via Getty Images)The pandemicâs impact on Latinos led one global health expert to declare that the coronavirus is causing "the historic decimation" of the Latino community.An estimated 160,000 Latinos died of Covid in the U.S., accounting for 16 percent of Covid deaths in the country.Like Black communities, similar disparities with Covid deaths occurred in cities like Austin, where Latinos accounted for 34 percent of the cityâs population but half of the Covid cases. In Los Angeles County, the mortality rate for Latinos rose by 48 percent during the pandemic.Latino patients were more likely to be hospitalized or die than white patients, according to one University of California study, and in some cases, younger Latinos represented an outsize portion of Covid deaths when compared to deaths among white people.The Manhattan skyline is seen behind the tombstones at Calvary Cemetery on April 21, 2021, in the Queens borough of New York City.
