    This perspective published in the The New England Journal of Medicine examines the problem of racial disparities and the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The results of this US study are consistent with findings from China and Italy, which suggest that patients with underlying health conditions and risk factors, including, but not limited to, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, COPD, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic renal disease, and smoking, might be at higher risk for severe disease or death from COVID-19. This analysis was limited by small numbers and missing data because of the burden placed on reporting health departments with rapidly rising case counts, and these findings might change as additional data become available.

    Philip Anderson’s able-bodied daughter, Lucy, joins Philip in sharing their perspectives of positive developments during the coronavirus lockdown, and their hopes for the future. Philip acquired a debilitating rare disease and has had to learn to live with remorseless erosion of his physical capacity, and increasing dependency. "I confess that when I was able-bodied, I was not aware of the extent of restrictions imposed by organisations on those with physical impairments. I’m only as disabled by the choices others make, rather than by loss of my motivation to live life ‘normally'. I hope that many who are experiencing some of our restrictions for the first time, will be passionate advocates for those with disability," says Philip in this thought-provoking article published in Independent Living.
