The study looked at data from 7,868 people hospitalized for COVID-19 between Jan. 17 and July 22 at 88 U.S. hospitals … Hispanic and Black patients had a disproportionate risk of landing in the hospital: 33% were Hispanic, 25.5% were Black, 6.3% were Asian and 35.2% were white. Yet data from the U.S. Census Bureau for ZIP codes where participating hospitals are located show Hispanic people make up just 9% of the local population and Black people make up 10.6%. … Black and Hispanic patients accounted for more than half – 53% – of all COVID-19 deaths.
