Numbers have taken on a whole different meaning during this pandemic, and we ve all been pinned to their rise and fall with a voyeuristic sense of horror.
Daily case counts. A global death toll.
But the faceless and nameless spectre of numbers masks the mourning.and stories of love, loss, and injustice.
As the Black Lives Matter protests spilled onto the streets after the death of George Floyd in the USA, Black lives are being taken by COVID-19 in disproportionate numbers. Something about the datafication of lives dehumanizes them , argues A.I ethics scholar and robotics engineer Inioluwa Deborah Raji.
The coronavirus has disproportionately carved a path through the nation’s Latino neighborhoods, as it has in African American, Native American and Pacific Islander communities. Even more stunning: the deadly efficiency with which the virus has targeted Latinos in their 30s and 40s.

The COVID-19 pandemic has erased more than a decade of improvements in life expectancy in the United States and widened racial and ethnic inequalities, according to new government data.
Life expectancy declined by one year in 2020, to 77.8 years, a figure last seen in 2006, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a report published Thursday.
Hispanic Americans, however, lost nearly two years, and African Americans, almost three.
“It’s a really big deal,” said Princeton University demographer Noreen Goldman. It was a big deal in 2015, 2016 and 2017 when life expectancy slipped by one-tenth of a year, she noted.
