Black and Latinx populations suffered illnesses, outbreaks, and deaths at much higher rates than the general populace. Those working in low-paid jobs and those living in confined housing or communities already disproportionately beset by health problems were particularly vulnerable. The contributors to \u003ci\u003eThe Pandemic Divide\u003c\/i\u003e explain how these and other racial disparities came to the forefront in 2020. They explore COVID-19's impact on multiple arenas of daily life--including wealth, health, housing, employment, and education--while highlighting what steps could have been taken to mitigate the full force of the pandemic. Most crucially, the contributors offer concrete public policy solutions that would allow the nation to respond effectively to future crises and improve the long-term well-being of all Americans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors.
