Atlanta, July 15 (RHC)-- Coronavirus deaths among Americans ages 65 and younger are more common among non-whites than among whites, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in a publication.

Overall, 34.9 percent of Hispanic patients who died were younger than 65, while 29.5 percent of nonwhites who died were under 65, compared to only 13.2 percent of white, non-Hispanic decedents.

Researchers analyzed 10,647 COVID-19 deaths between February 12 and April 24 from 16 public health departments in 15 states. Most of the deaths were in New York City, New Jersey and Washington state - three areas hit by the pandemic early on.
