In my recent podcast, We Need to Talk About COVID-19 & Discrimination, I discussed the possible notion suggesting that racism puts certain minorities at a higher risk as the pandemic disproportionately kills people of color due to varying societal and economic factors. As I mentioned in the podcast, here is a list of resources I used for my research and other sources you can use to learn about this issue.
