The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed socioeconomic, geographic, and medical vulnerabilities in our country. In North Carolina, inequalities resulting from centuries of structural racism exacerbate disparate impacts of infection and death. We propose three opportunities that leaders in our state can embrace to move toward equity as we weather, and emerge from, this pandemic.
新冠疫情暴露了我国在社会经济、地理和医疗方面的脆弱性。在北卡罗来纳州，几个世纪以来的结构性种族主义导致的不平等现象加剧了感染和死亡的差异。我们提出了三个机会，我们州的领导人可以在应对和走出这场大流行的过程中，拥抱这些机会，迈向公平。
