Racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality are driven by unequal infection risks.
J Zelner et al, MEDRXIV, September 11, 2020

We used individual-level COVID-19 incidence and mortality data from Michigan to estimate age-specific incidence and mortality rates by race/ethnic group. The findings suggest that well-documented racial disparities in mortality in hard-hit settings, are driven primarily by variation in household, community and workplace exposure rather than case-fatality rates.

Socio-economic disparities and COVID-19 in the USA
A Paul et al, MEDRXIV, September 11, 2020

We correlate the COVID-19 prevalence and death rate with data from the US Census Bureau and point out how the spreading patterns of the disease show asymmetries in urban and rural areas separately and is preferentially affecting the counties where a large fraction of the population is non-white.
