Hispanics, who currently make up about 18% of the U.S. population, are disproportionally getting sick and dying compared to non-Latino white people, as the pandemic continues to highlight societal inequities that leave historically marginalized communities more at risk to be exposed to the virus. A recent study found that Latinos 65 years and older were two times more likely to die from the coronavirus than white non-Latinos of the same age group. … By the end of September, Hispanics made up 29% of nearly 2.7 million cases tracked by the CDC, and 16.6% of over 121,000 deaths in which they could determine race and ethnicity.
