Abstrakt:	The COVID-19 pandemic has had deep influence on American life. However, the burden of the pandemic has not been distributed equally among members of a population based on their demographic features. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sex, age, race, and religion were associated with COVID-19 positivity rates in Boone County, Missouri over a 22-month period (March 15, 2020 to December 2, 2021) of the pandemic. We analyzed the data using age distribution histograms, two-way delta tables, and trend analysis graphs to highlight our study findings. We evaluated those graphs with each demographic feature across a collection of defined epochs of key events, such as vaccine release, Delta variant, vaccine boosters, and initial Omicron variant. Our results supported the hypothesis that males and minority races such as Black or African Americans and All-Other are more likely to have a higher COVID-19 positivity rate across our defined epochs.
