Margot Kushel, MD, and Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, MD, discuss how the pandemic has highlighted "a tale of two Californias."
"In one California, many people have the financial and social resources to protect themselves from exposure to the coronavirus and to weather the economic storm. Although life is disrupted and the future is uncertain, they know few people who have died from COVID-19. In the second California, grave illness and death from COVID-19 is a relentless daily occurrence, as is a new and growing anxiety about hunger, homelessness and economic devastation."
