Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States has revealed major disparities in the access to testing and messaging about the pandemic based on the geographic location of individuals, particularly in communities of color, rural areas, and areas of low income. This geographic disparity, in addition to deeply rooted structural inequities, have posed additional challenges to adequately diagnose and provide care for individuals of all ages living in these settings. We describe the impact that COVID-19 has had on geographically disparate populations in the United States and share our recommendations on what might be done to ameliorate the current situation.

摘要

美国的2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行显示，根据个人的地理位置，特别是在有色人种，农村地区和低收入地区，有关大流行的测试和信息获取存在重大差异。除了根深蒂固的结构性不平等之外，这种地理上的差异还给要充分诊断和照顾生活在这些环境中的各个年龄段的个人带来了额外的挑战。我们描述了COVID-19对美国地理上各异的人口所产生的影响，并就如何改善当前状况分享了我们的建议。
