Current studies on COVID-19 do not sufficiently investigate the link between various racial and ethnic groups and the pandemic, despite growing awareness of disparities in race in the United States. However, the current research findings showed a heightened incidence of COVID-19 among Black individuals in this country, suggesting an increased prevalence of infection within this specific demographic. The relationship between different ethnic groups and COVID-19 is complex and influenced by various factors, including genetic composition, socioeconomic factors, pre-existing health gap, and immune reaction. Furthermore, those are the indirect factors related to stress that may contribute to increased vulnerability to COVID-19 in certain populations, including African-American/Black People, Hispanics, and other minority groups. It's important to address the fact that these factors are complex, multifaceted, and influenced by biological, social, economic, and psychological factors. It's urgent to address these underlying issues to reduce health disparities to improve the overall well-being of marginalized communities. Public health efforts should focus on promoting equity in access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities to mitigate the impact of stress on health outcomes.
