Mariana Janjacomo Data Sketch 2

Black people are a minority in North Carolina; they account for only 21% of the population. But they represent 29% of all of the Covid-19 deaths of people with known race in the state. What is the reason for that? Do they live in places where access to healthcare is more difficult? Is it related to income? Maybe that population doesn’t even have decent access to testing and don’t discover they have the disease until it’s too late to try some sort of treatment. Maybe even when they are diagnosed, they can’t stop working, can’t rest or take the proper care to recover.
