Unemployment, Bankruptcies, and Excess Deaths Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
This month’s issue of AJPH includes a special section on unemployment, bankruptcies, and excess deaths, highlighting the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the economy and mortality. From vaccines to workplace leave, this issue also includes a wide range of perspectives and research on topics such as sugar-sweetened beverages, undocumented patients, and US Army surveillance.
Cover caption: The effects of COVID-19 are far more vast than a positive diagnosis. The related recession and the negative effect on the economy is responsible for an important amount of excess deaths (see Brenner et al., p. 1950). People, especially communities of color, are drowning in a sea of adjacent issues exacerbating and adding to the stress of the pandemic.
