We all have been affected by the current covid-19 pandemic. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently depending on our status as individuals and as members of society. While some try to adapt to working online, homeschooling their children and ordering food via Instacart, others have no choice but to be exposed to the virus while keeping society functioning.
Covid-19 is killing people on a large scale. As of October 10, 2020, more than 7.7 million people across every state in the US and its four territories had tested positive for covid-19. According to the New York Times database, at least 213,876 people with the virus have died in the US. However, these alarming numbers give us only half of the picture; a closer look at data by different social identities (such as class, gender, age, race, and medical history) shows that minorities have been disproportionally affected by the pandemic.
