The Lancet/Spain |
Letter |

Assessing differential impacts of COVID-19 on black communities |
Annals of Epidemiology/United States |
Article |
About 90% of the cities in the USA with an African-American black majority reported COVID-19 cases, and 49% of them reported deaths. When adjusting the data according to age group, income, comorbidities, and duration of the pandemic, it was evident that the municipalities with a majority African-American population registered more cases (Rate Ratio (RR): 1.24, confidence interval of 95%: 1.17-1.33) and deaths (RR: 1.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.00-1.40). Social conditions, structural racism, and other factors increase the risk of COVID-19 diagnoses and deaths in black communities. |

Understanding COVID-19 risks and vulnerabilities among black communities in America: the lethal force of syndemics |
Annals of Epidemiolo/United States |
Article |
It points out that the COVID-19 pandemic and the other negative impacts that emerge because of it are more dangerous to the African-American population.

Racial Capitalism: A Fundamental Cause of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Inequities in the United States |
Health Educ Behav/United States |
Article |
They state that racial capitalism is a fundamental cause of racial and socioeconomic inequalities within the USA's new coronavirus pandemic. It happens because the inequities evidenced by COVID-19 negatively influence health prognoses. They increase risk factors for the poor, the black population, the homeless, and also increase medical prejudice. Therefore, all interventions must address social inequality to achieve health equity in all pandemics. |
