- Abstract:
- This policy brief examines differences in COVID-19 mortality rates across rural-urban designations and stratifications by geography, county-level sociodemographic factors, and county-level health care factors. Between December 2020 and January 2021, COVID-19 deaths were at their peak, hospital capacity was stretched, and COVID-19 vaccines were not widely available, making this a critical time period to examine. These findings may provide insights to ensure that the health care and social support system can manage the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future health emergencies.
