"Study finds Black women are dying from COVID-19 at three times the rate of both White and Asian men

Despite broad understanding that more men are dying of COVID-19, Black women in the United States are dying at a higher rate than any other group other than Black men, according to a new study published Monday. The analysis, which researchers say is the first to examine the race and gender of those dying from COVID, has spotlighted some of the gaps in data and research into what is causing disparities.

“This analysis complicates the simple narrative that men are dying at greater rates of COVID-19 than women,” Tamara Rushovich, Harvard doctoral candidate and lead author of the study, said in a statement.

The study, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine by Harvard GenderSci Lab, found that Black women are dying of coronavirus at three times the rate of both White and Asian men in Georgia and Michigan. Black men had far higher mortality rates than any other race or gender group."
