新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行揭示了美国各地潜在的健康不平等现象。该流行病已在美国各州蔓延，影响到不同的弱势群体，包括内城区和农村人口，以及居住在疗养院和辅助生活设施等聚集环境中的人们。此外，自4月初以来，看守所和监狱中的COVID-19疫情不断增加。我们描述了与三种不同类型的结构性脆弱性相关的 COVID-19 传播的三种重叠的流行病学浪潮。
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has unveiled underlying health inequities throughout the United States. The pandemic has spread across U.S. states, affecting different vulnerable populations, including both inner-city and rural populations, and those living in congregate settings such as nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. In addition, since early April, there has been an increasing number of outbreaks of COVID-19 in jails and prisons. We describe three overlapping epidemiologic waves of spread of COVID-19 linked to three different kinds of structural vulnerabilities.
