2020年冬季和春季的2019冠状病毒病大流行对世界卫生保健系统构成了重大挑战，这可能是自1918年流感大流行以来从未出现过的。该病毒已蔓延到世界各地，在除南极洲以外的所有大陆上都夺去了生命。自抵达美国以来，人们一直关注新冠肺炎病例和死亡人数在不同社会经济和种族群体中的分布情况。这项研究的目的是在大流行的最初几周内研究这一问题，希望能够揭示病例数和死亡人数与贫困之间的关系。这项研究的结果显示，在大流行的最初几周，美国更贫困的县确诊的Covid-19病例数量更多，但随着时间的推移，这一趋势发生了变化，到2020年4月初，更富裕的县确诊的病毒病例更多。Covid-19造成的死亡人数与更贫穷和更多城市的县有关。对这些结果的讨论侧重于这样一种可能性，即在大流行后期，由于全国范围内总体缺乏足够的检测资源，在更弱势的县，病毒检测的可用性比之前更低。
The Covid-19 pandemic in the winter and spring of 2020 represents a major challenge to the world health care system that has not been seen perhaps since the influenza pandemic in 1918. The virus has spread across the world, claiming lives on all continents with the exception of Antarctica. Since its arrival in the United States, attention has been paid to how Covid-19 cases and deaths have been distributed across varying socioeconomic and ethnic groups. The goal of this study was to examine this issue during the early weeks of the pandemic, with the hope of shedding some light on how the number of cases and the number of deaths were, or were not related to poverty. Results of this study revealed that during the early weeks of the pandemic more disadvantaged counties in the United States had a larger number of confirmed Covid-19 cases, but that over time this trend changed so that by the beginning of April, 2020 more affluent counties had more confirmed cases of the virus. The number of deaths due to Covid-19 were associated with poorer and more urban counties. Discussion of these results focuses on the possibility that testing for the virus was less available in more disadvantaged counties later in the pandemic than was the case earlier, as the result of an overall lack of adequate testing resources across the nation.
