Abstract
Recent reporting data are showing that racial minorities in the United States are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 – both in hospitalization rates and deaths. It seems the virus does discriminate by exacerbating existing racial disparities and bias. This Briefing focuses on the disparate impact of COVID-19, and explores the way public policy decisions may be used to begin to chip away at some of the disproportionate negative effects.
Description
The COVID-19 Law and Policy Briefings, hosted in two series from March 2020 through July 2021, feature US and international public health law experts discussing the biggest legal issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The briefings are produced by the George Consortium, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University Beasley School of Law, and the APHA Law Section. Visit Public Health Law Watch (http://bit.ly/COVIDLawBriefing) to watch episodes. All past briefings are also archived by The Week in Health Law podcast.
