The young Americans most vulnerable to COVID-19 are people of color and the working class.
“The science is 100 percent clear on this point and that is, across virtually every therapeutic intervention in the United States, from the most simple procedure to the most complicated, blacks and other minorities receive poorer quality care and less intensive care than whites,” he said.Because of how race and class are intertwined in American life, you can also see health inequalities along socioeconomic lines.
Similarly, about 63 percent of Americans who did not graduate from high school are more vulnerable, while about 40 percent of college graduates have health issues that put them at increased risk.
“I think we are looking at a perfect storm that can have pervasive adverse consequences. The people being most hurt by this epidemic are the very people who at the beginning of this epidemic were the most vulnerable,” he said.
