Coronavirus case rates for Black residents dropped by 13% and by 22% for Latino residents, while cases have dropped by 33% for white residents.

In a sobering sign of the unequal health outcomes of the pandemic, coronavirus case rates are improving at a slower pace for Black and Latino residents of Los Angeles County than for white and Asian American residents.for Black residents dropped by 13% over the past month and by 22% for Latino residents, while falling by 33% for white and 45% for Asian American residents.

“Throughout this pandemic, we have often seen two very different versions of the county: one in areas of the county with higher COVID rates, notably the Latinx and Black communities, and another where residents were able to safely and comfortably stay at home,” L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis said. “The Delta variant may again create a tale of two counties if residents do not get vaccinated.”

Among hospitalizations, for every 100,000 Black residents, 8.1 people were in the hospital with COVID-19; for every 100,000 Latino residents, 5.3 were hospitalized; for every 100,000 white residents, 2.9 were hospitalized, and for every 100,000 Asian American residents, 1.1 were hospitalized.

Currently, 67% of L.A. County residents in this age group are at least partially vaccinated, and 58% are fully vaccinated.. The county’s latest projection shows it may take until the end of summer to reach that threshold.

“How to Survive America”: D.L. Hughley’s timely guide to help navigate America while BlackJuneteenth may now be a federal holiday, but it’s still hard being Black in America. Actor, Comedian, and activist D.L. Hughley lays out the vast landscape of inequities facing people of color in his new book “How to Survive America.” It’s a timely guide to help navigate our modern world. I’m dismayed by the Christian right who demand that African-Americans forgive whites for slavery yet they don’t demand repentance from whites. If white supremacy was actually the problem...than Asians and Indian people etc would ALL be in the same situation as black people. Since they are not, the argument instantly stalls out.
