This probably comes as no surprise but the people suffering the worst from COVID-19 are the people who mostly suffer the worst in life -- black and Latinos, and those on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale.
Blacks and Latinos are dying at twice the rate of whites in NYC. It just goes to show how persistent and ingrained inequalities are always exacerbated in a crises. Ironically, it's Asians that are the least impacted -- considering that this crises started in China and so many people have been avoiding Chinese businesses and have been openly racist towards Asians in general.
