美国新冠肺炎死亡人数破10万黑人死亡率严重偏高

美国新冠肺炎疫情的种族创伤继续恶化，美国黑人在这场大流行病中的死亡率远高于美国其他人种。占美国人口13%的黑人死于新冠肺炎的比例却占到了疫情死亡总数的23%。

Black Americans continue to make up a disproportionate share of Covid-19 fatalities as the number of deaths from the coronavirus pandemic exceeds 100,000 in the United States, according to an analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据分析显示，随着美国新冠肺炎死亡人数突破10万，美国黑人死亡率持续偏高。

Nearly 23% of reported Covid-19 deaths in the US are African American as of May 20, even though black people make up roughly 13% of the US population, according to racial demographic information on Covid-19 cases and deaths from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心国家卫生统计中心的新冠肺炎种族人口统计信息，截至5月20日，美国报告的新冠肺炎死者中有近23%是非裔美国人，而黑人在美国总人口中的比例为13%。

Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma that tend to plague African Americans more than other racial groups could be contributing to more Covid-19 deaths. Income inequalities and disparities in access to health care, which generally lead to poorer diets and overall health, tend to hurt minority and lower-income populations more than others.
