Non-Hispanic whites account for 76 percent of the U.S. population, according to Census Bureau estimates. Hispanics accounted for more than 24% of deaths, but make up 18.5% of the population. But Black people accounted for nearly 18% of the deaths in this time period, despite making up just 12.5% of the US population. A new analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of more than 114,000 Americans who died of COVID-19 between May and August found that 24 percent were Hispanic or Latino, even though only about 18 percent of Americans are of Hispanic decent. These results can inform public health messaging and mitigation efforts focused on prevention and early detection of infection among disproportionally affected groups so as to minimize subsequent mortality.As of Monday, Johns Hopkins University researchers had tallied 219,706 deaths in the U.S., and over 1.1 million worldwide.
