Abstract / Description:
In Chicago, a recent report found that 70 percent of people who died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, are black ó even though the city's population is just 30 percent black.
In Milwaukee County, which is 27 percent black, the figure is 81 percent.
And public health officials tracking the coronavirus have seen similar disproportionate impacts on African Americans in Philadelphia, Detroit and other cities.
