  Interpretive Summary for October 8, 2021
  
  Health Equity and Disability
  
  COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are once again declining in many parts of the country. Sadly, the United States reached a grim milestone this week, surpassing 700,000 total deaths from COVID-19. Studies have shown that COVID-19 does not affect all population groups equally. Some people with disabilities might be more likely to get infected or have severe outcomes from COVID-19 because of underlying medical conditions, group living settings, or systemic health and social inequities.
