Almost a third of Black Americans know someone who has died from COVID-19, a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll finds.
In the poll, 31 percent of Black respondents said that they know someone who has died from the virus, though overall only 13 percent of respondents knew someone who has died from COVID-19.
The numbers were also less for Hispanic and white respondents, with 17 percent of Hispanic respondents and 9 percent of white respondents saying that they knew someone who has died from the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
More than 50 percent of Black respondents said that they know someone who has died, or who had become sick but not died, from COVID-19.
Comparatively, less than 40 percent of Hispanic or white respondents said the same.
