Is COVID-19 racist?

 Now obviously COVID-19 is not racist it's a virus it affects Everyone practically the same way. But the question about equality versus Equity comes down to people's ability to respond to the virus. The virus is spread through close contact between non-infected and infected individuals the closer the contact in the closer the proximity of people the faster the virus spreads. when I was thinking about this the first thing that came to mind was apartment buildings and how often in lower-income apartments air ducting is shared throughout multiple units so therefore through vents almost all of the units in the building could be connected. Which then led me to think about the fact that lower-income individuals are going to live in tighter proximity to other low-income individuals when in contrast higher-income individuals usually have the number of resources to own more land and space and therefore not have to be in such close contact with other people who could be infected with the virus. This then led me to my final conclusion a disproportionate number of minorities more specifically African-Americans live in these impoverished conditions which means once COVID-19 becomes more contained I believe that a great disparity is going to be seen. between wealthier individuals almost always being white for able to avoid the virus by staying away from individuals and having things delivered to their homes and using expensive services to avoid contact with other people and poor mostly African-American individuals who are going to be forced to be in close proximity to other people do to living Arrangement and not have the resources to use the services to avoid contact with other people forcing them to go to the grocery store or go out and get supplies. I think this disparity is going to cause a racial disparity in the ratio of infections and I believe very quickly once COVID 19 begins to become more manageable this disparity will become much more illuminated.
