El Covid-19 expone la disparidad racial en EUA
April 14, 2020 - Uno de cada tres estadounidenses hospitalizados con la enfermedad coronavirus (Covid-19) es negro, aun cuando los afroestadounidenses constituyen solo el 13% de la población de EUA, según un estudio de los centros para el Control y Prevencion de Enfermedades (CDC).
By contrast, the report found that 45 percent of hospitalisations were among white people, who make up 60 percent of the population. And 8 percent of hospitalisations were among Hispanics, who make up 18 percent of the population.
The study of some 580 hospitalised patients in 14 states underscores the long-standing racial disparities in healthcare in the United States, NPR said.
