Number of Cases and Deaths by Race in New Mexico

Pitch

Comparing the number of cases by race to the number of deaths by race in New Mexico, there are clear differences in terms of percentages. I would want to look into what possible reasons might justify these discrepancies. Why are LatinX people number one in the number of cases, but then AIAN people not only are number one in deaths, but more than double LatinX people? Is there a reason more AIAN people are dying porportionaly?
