Black people and Latinos are far more likely than white people in Los Angeles and statewide to report that the coronavirus has threatened their health, their jobs and their finances, a new poll shows - underscoring the degree to which the pandemic has widened existing racial and class inequities. Nearly 7 in 10 Latino and Black voters in Los Angeles County said that the virus posed a "major threat" to their personal or family health, according to the poll from UC Berkeley's Institute for Governmental Studies. About 6 in 10 Asian American voters said the virus was a major threat. By comparison, fewer than half of white voters reported the same level of concern.For more on this, see the press release at the Institute of Governmental Studies.
