ifs Deaton review of social inequalities impact of COVID
The Impact of the November 2020 English National Lockdown on COVID-19 case counts

Perspectives from the front line: the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on BME communities. This report finds that the effects of longstanding health and socio-economic inequalities and institutional racism lie behind the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on people from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds. It distils the findings of a research study into the underlying factors. It is based on interviews with BME NHS leaders, clinicians, community organisations and service users, and a survey of more than 100 members of the NHS Confederation’s BME Leadership Network.
