Poor people are put in bigger danger from Covid-19 death

mercredi 6 avril 2022 à 10:49

Society and institutions in the US put poor people in bigger danger of death from Covid-19 than well-off people.

*People in poorer counties have died overall at almost twice the rate of those in richer counties. … During the third pandemic wave in the US, over the winter of 2020 and 2021, death rates were four-and-a-half times higher in the poorest counties than those with the highest median incomes.*

I wonder how a similar comparison for long Covid disabilities would come out.
