Max Verstappen may have won four of the opening five races going into last weekend's meeting at the Miami International Autodome, but the three-time world champion was finally dethroned in a straight shoot-out for the podium, finishing behind McLaren's Lando Norris who recorded the very first race victory of his F1 career.
Coming into the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Verstappen will be hoping to get back to winning ways as soon as he possibly can. Despite Norris' maiden race win making him second-favourite to claim the chequered flag at Imola, dominant victories for Verstappen in both the 2021 and 2022 meetings will give him confidence that he can return to the top of the podium today.
This is only the fourth edition of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at an Imola Circuit which previously held the San Marino race between 1981 and 2006, with Lewis Hamilton winning the inaugural meeting in 2020. Verstappen's one-sided victories in 2021 and 2022 put him in good stead to make a winning return to Imola, after last year's race was rained off.
The fourth edition of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix begins at 3:00 p.m. local time (CET) at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy on Sunday, May 19 2024. Here's how that start time translates across some of the world's major regions.
The 13th race of the 2024 Formula One season will be upon us in just a few hours' time, and after a week off, the European summer of races continues at pace, heading east from Great Britain to the Hungaroring for the 40th edition of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
We're beyond the halfway point now, and as such the pressure really ramps up for the 20 drivers taking part in the 2024 Formula One season. Max Verstappen remains the man to beat after 12 races, but Mercedes duo George Russell and Lewis Hamilton have done just that in the last two races.
Russell and Hamilton have recorded wins at the Austrian and British Grands Prix respectively, and the Dutchman, who has still won seven of the 12 races so far in 2024, will be dead-set on making it eight from 13 this weekend.
Verstappen still holds a healthy lead in his bid for a fourth consecutive World Drivers' Championship, leading the standings by 84 points, and having stormed to comfortable victories in each of the last two meetings at the Hungaroring, the Red Bull driver is looking to win three straight.
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, analyses of federal, state, and local data have shown that people of color have experienced a disproportionate burden of cases and deaths. This brief examines racial disparities in COVID-19 cases and deaths and how they have changed over time based on KFF analysis of data on COVID-19 infections and deaths from CDC. It updates a February 2022 analysis to reflect data through mid-2022, amid the ongoing surge associated with the Omicron variant. It finds:
Continuing to assess COVID-19 health impacts by race/ethnicity is important for both identifying and addressing disparities and preventing against further widening of disparities in health going forward. While disparities in cases and deaths have narrowed and widened over time, the underlying structural inequities in health and health care and social and economic factors that placed people of color at increased risk at the outset of the pandemic remain. As such, they may remain at increased risk as the pandemic continues to evolve and for future health threats, such as the Monkeypox virus, for which early data show similar disparities emerging.
As of August 5, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a total of over 84 million cases, for which race/ethnicity was known for 65% or over 55 million, and a total of over 880,000 deaths, for which race/ethnicity was known for 85% or over 750,000. These estimates are based on a subset of data for which case-level demographic information has been reported to CDC by state health departments, so they differ from those reported elsewhere. For example, CDC reports a total of over 1 million deaths from COVID as of August 5, 2022. Data on cases also are likely significantly underreported as they do not reflect individuals who test positive on home tests and do not report findings to their public health agency.
Total cumulative data show that Black, Hispanic, AIAN, and NHOPI people have experienced higher rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths than White people when data are adjusted to account for differences in age by race and ethnicity. Age-standardized data show that that NHOPI, Hispanic, and AIAN people are at about one and a half times greater risk of COVID-19 infection than White people, and AIAN, Hispanic, NHOPI, and Black people are about twice as likely to die from COVID-19 as their White counterparts (Figure 1). The CDC also reports large disparities in COVID-19 hospitalizations for AIAN, Black, and Hispanic people. (CDC data does not include separate reporting for NHOPI people.) Adjusting for age when comparing groups on health measures is important because risk of infection, illness, and death can vary by age, and age distribution differs by racial and ethnic group. Age adjustment allows for direct comparison between groups on health measures independent of the age distribution differences. For example, unadjusted rates underestimate racial disparities for COVID-19 deaths, since the White population is older compared to populations of color and COVID-19 death rates have been higher among older individuals. Age adjustment has limited impact on case rates by race and ethnicity, suggesting that age plays a more limited role in risk of infection.
Analysis of monthly data on COVID-19 infections from CDC and deaths from NCHS shows disparities in infections and deaths have both widened and narrowed over the course of the pandemic. During periods in which the virus has surged, disparities have generally widened, while they have narrowed when overall infection rates fall. However, over the course of the pandemic, specific patterns of disparities have varied by race and ethnicity and between cases and deaths.
Figure 2 shows age-adjusted monthly data on cases by race and ethnicity between April 2020 and July 2022. There were no notable differences in patterns of disparities between unadjusted and age-adjusted data for reported cases. The data show that during periods of resurgence, disparities have generally widened for people of color compared to White people, while they have narrowed when overall infection rates fall.
Figure 3 presents age-adjusted monthly data on COVID-19 deaths by race and ethnicity between April 2020 and May 2022. Both the unadjusted and age-adjusted data show large disparities in death rates for people of color during surges in the pandemic, with the highest rates among AIAN people for most of the pandemic. In unadjusted data, there were some periods when death rates for White people were higher than or similar to some groups of color. However, in the age-adjusted data, White people have lower death rates than AIAN, Black, and Hispanic people over most of the course of the pandemic and disparities are larger for AIAN, Black, and Hispanic people, reflecting an older White population and higher rates of death across all age groups among people of color compared to White people.
In sum, these data show that, overall, Black, Hispanic, and AIAN people have experienced higher rates of COVID-19 infection and death compared to White people when accounting for age differences across racial and ethnic groups. The age-adjusted data also suggest that while these disparities have narrowed at times over the course of the pandemic, people of color are disproportionately impacted by surges caused by new variants, with disparities widening during these periods.
Looking ahead, continuing to assess COVID-19 health impacts by race/ethnicity is important for both identifying and addressing disparities and preventing against further widening of disparities in health going forward. While disparities in cases and deaths have narrowed and widened during different periods over time, the underlying structural inequities in health and health care and social and economic factors that placed people of color at increased risk at the outset of the pandemic remain. As such, they may remain at increased risk as the pandemic continues to evolve and for future health threats, such as the Monkeypox virus, for which early data show similar disparities emerging.
This analysis uses data from multiple sources including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID Data Tracker, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 Response. COVID-19 Case Surveillance Data, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Provisional COVID-19 Deaths, and the Census Bureau Annual Estimates of the Resident Population. Unless otherwise noted, race/ethnicity was categorized by non-Hispanic White (White), non-Hispanic Black (Black), Hispanic, non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN), non-Hispanic Asian (Asian), and non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI).
