COVID-19 BLOG
Discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic affected different historically marginalized populations. Discuss the indirect and direct causes of deaths and excess deaths in these populations. Discuss any cultural factors in different historically marginalized populations that may have affected their health disparities.
Compare how disparities in COVID-19 infections and outcomes for these populations changed over the years from 2020 to the present. What changed from the beginning of 2020 to 2022 and going forward? Were health disparities addressed at the national or state level? Can you find an example of a successful policy or program that reduced deaths in any of these historically marginalized populations? Do you have any suggestions for the future? You may need to find new evidence (studies and reports) to compare the current situation to earlier years.
