in the united kingdom, twice as many black covid-19 patients died as white covid-19 patients. other non-white people, like people from india and bangladesh, were also more likely to die of covid-19 than whites. britain's office of national statistics said that the differences in money and education explained some of this difference but not all of it. they also said they did not know whether non-white patients caught covid-19 more often or whether they caught more severe cases. only female chinese britons were less likely to die of covid-19 than white britons.
