============

from Race, Ethnicity, and Age Trends in Persons Who Died from COVID-19
— United States, May–August 2020 | MMWR (cdc.gov) -
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e1.htm

Persons aged ≥65 years and members of minority racial and ethnic
groups are disproportionately represented among COVID-19–associated
deaths.

Analysis of 114,411 COVID-19–associated deaths reported to National
Vital Statistics System during May–August 2020, found that 51.3% of
decedents were non-Hispanic White, 24.2% were Hispanic or Latino
(Hispanic), and 18.7% were non-Hispanic Black. The percentage of
Hispanic decedents increased from 16.3% in May to 26.4% in August.

The decreasing percentage of deaths occurring among persons aged ≥65
years and persons in nursing homes, which were important sites of
COVID-19–associated deaths early in the pandemic, suggests a continued
shift toward noninstitutionalized and younger populations.
