- Project Abstract:
As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses across the nation and the world, data suggests the virus disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. Specifically, disparities exist in infection rates and disease outcomes by race and ethnicity in the United States. However, it is unknown to what degree these differences have impacted specific communities in the past year. During the course of this research project, I intend to research various avenues related to COVID-19 including but not limited to long term care facilities and education systems.
