A new study from officials in Los Angeles County, California, has revealed that those living in lower-income communities are more likely to die from the CCP virus than those living in wealthier areas.

On Sunday, as Los Angeles County public health officials announced 19 additional deaths and 440 new cases of the virus, they revealed those who live in lower-income areas are three times more likely to die of the virus than those who do not, according to a press release.
