The study also found that children of color suffered more sadness. Among African Americans, Latinos and Indians in the United States, almost 7 out of 10 children lost their close relatives during the epidemic.
Hillis, the main author of the study, told the media: "we are very disturbed by the racial and ethnic differences in the data." the media pointed out that the CDC did not collect data to explain why these differences exist, but the research on the epidemic process showed that the serious inequality in health care in the United States led to higher mortality in colored communities.
