Children of racial and ethnic minorities were much more likely to be affected. 'It’s really one of the most extreme disparities I have ever seen,' a researcher said.
Tens of thousands of children in the U.S. have lost a parent to COVID-19, according to research published Thursday in— a devastating consequence of the coronavirus pandemic that experts say will have ramifications for years to come.
Even that may be an underestimate, said the study’s lead author, Susan Hillis, a member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 Response Team. The study included data only from April 2020 through the end of June 2021 — just as the supercontagious delta variant was beginning to take hold.
"When we talk about COVID, so much of the conversation is around how many cases of COVID and how many people have died and how many people have been hospitalized," said Besser, who was not involved with the research."What this study points to is that the impacts of COVID go way beyond that," he said.
"We have had more deaths in 2021 since the vaccine became available than we had in all of 2020," she said."These deaths are skewing younger, which means more parents are dying."
