"Comparing Recent COVID Deaths to Early Pandemic Months in California"

A recent analysis of COVID-19 deaths in California shows a shift in demographics, with older and White individuals now making up a larger proportion of the victims compared to the early months of the pandemic. The overall death toll has significantly decreased, with older age groups being more vulnerable. Additionally, the racial breakdown of COVID-19 deaths has flipped, with White individuals now accounting for a larger percentage of deaths compared to Latinos. Experts attribute these changes to increased immunity through exposures and vaccines, as well as disparities in vaccination rates and political influence.
