尽管全球都感受到了当前的新冠肺炎危机，但在地方层面上，新冠肺炎对芝加哥贫穷、高度隔离的非裔美国人社区的影响不成比例。为了理解新冠肺炎影响下出现的种族不平等模式，我们考察了社会脆弱性和健康风险因素的相对负担。我们发现社会脆弱性和风险因素的显著空间集群，这两者都与新冠肺炎相关死亡率的增加显著相关。我们还发现，非裔美国人的比例越高，社会脆弱性和风险因素的水平就越高。此外，非裔美国人居民的比例对新冠肺炎死亡率有独立影响。我们认为，在紧急情况下，现有的不平等经常被突出。新冠肺炎对非裔美国人社区的不成比例的影响，反映了新冠肺炎危机之前存在的种族不平等和社会排斥。
Although the current COVID-19 crisis is felt globally, at the local level, COVID-19 has disproportionately affected poor, highly segregated African American communities in Chicago. To understand the emerging pattern of racial inequality in the effects of COVID-19, we examined the relative burden of social vulnerability and health risk factors. We found significant spatial clusters of social vulnerability and risk factors, both of which are significantly associated with the increased COVID-19-related death rate. We also found that a higher percentage of African Americans was associated with increased levels of social vulnerability and risk factors. In addition, the proportion of African American residents has an independent effect on the COVID-19 death rate. We argue that existing inequity is often highlighted in emergency conditions. The disproportionate effects of COVID-19 in African American communities are a reflection of racial inequality and social exclusion that existed before the COVID-19 crisis.
