    Dark-skinned people significantly more vulnerable to Covid-19

    A study in Great Britain has concluded that dark-skinned women are 4.3 times more likely to be infected with Covid-19 than their fair-skinned counterparts while dark-skinned men are 4.2 times more likely to be infected than fair-skinned men.

    This research supports similar findings in the United States. In Chcago, for example, where 30% of the population is black, 70% of the coronavirus cases occurred among blacks.
