The disproportionate numbers of people from ethnic minorities dying from COVID-19 in the UK can be attributed to widespread inequality, according to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
"Hospital deaths show clear disparities between ethnic groups in their mortality from COVID-19," said IFS research economist, Ross Warwick.Other minority groups have also seen excess mortality, with Indians also suffering more fatalities than average. The IFS research also shows these disparities cannot be attributed to obvious demographic characteristics like age or geography.Warwick said different factors may be more important for disparities among different groups. The prevalence of some minority groups in "key worker" roles may affect some communities. For others, underlying health conditions like diabetes may be more significant risk factors.
Indian, Pakistani, and Black African men are, respectively, 125%, 150% and 300% more likely to work in healthcare than White British men, respectively. "If you look at all the work that was done up until mid-April," he added. "It was as though black and minority communities didn't exist: you'd be hard-pushed to find a single guidance document that even mentions inequality for diverse communities."
BIUK Where's the evidence that economic inequality is the cause? What utter codswallop.
