A review of Ohio infections and deaths by race as reported
by the COVID Tracking project shows that as of yesterday, whites accounted for
52 percent of infections while African Americans accounted for 25 percent and
other and unknown race designations accounted for 23 percent of infections. The
disproportionate representation of African Americans in the total cases is
consistent with patterns noted throughout the Country. Surprisingly, Whites
accounted for 80 percent of fatalties while African Americans only
accounted for 17 percent of total COVID-19 deaths.
A comparison of COVID-19 fatalities for May 21 and May
28 reveals there have been 2,098 deaths, a 14 percent increase of this time
last week.
