Reporter the review of testing saitos beingites acrossy shows people of color especially black and hispanic people are more likely to experience longer wait times and understaffed Testing Centers. We estimated the potential demand by looking at the number of site and the number of People Living nearest them. In los angeles for example, test sites serving mostly black neighborhoods were 26 busier than those serving white neighborhoods and those serving majority hispanic neighborhoods were 9 busier. In the bay area, our analysis found testing sites in mostly has panic neighborhoods were about 20 than white neighborhoods. Professor of epidemiology at uc berkeley this country has a long history of disparities in health, access to health care, with poorer people and communities of color having less access.
