Abstract
Covid-19 has created and amplified racial health disparities. This has been particularly noticeable in populations with asthma. There is no one simple reason for this occurrence, but rather a complex interaction of biological, structural, and socioeconomic factors. This article will highlight reasons why the COVID-19 pandemic has been particularly impactful among minority populations throughout the world and will also offer potential solutions to help overcome health disparities.
