Popis: The global death toll of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic isvery high, with over 6 million officially registered deaths and estimates of excess mortality ranging from 10 million to 20 million. Yet this burden has not been equally distributed between countries or across race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and social class within countries.
