Capturing the Latina/o perspective during a pandemic...
Voces of a Pandemic
The COVID-19 public health crisis has ravaged Latino/a communities
throughout the U.S. with an impact disproportionate to other groups...

A construction worker in Arizona told us that Latinos never stop working –
even in a pandemic. A surgeon in South Texas, who recovered from the virus
in April, wistfully noted many people don’t understand the severity of this
illness. A New Jersey woman said she personally knows at least 20 people
who have tested positive for COVID-19. The head of a nonprofit in Omaha
says he is heartened at the community stepping up to help his food giveaway
program.

These are just a few of the stories we have recorded as part of the Voces
of a Pandemic project this summer...
Voces of a Pandemic is a partnership among institutions across the country,
dedicated to recording, preserving and disseminating the unique
perspectives of Latinos/as during this crisis.

Latinos have been disproportionately affected by the novel coronavirus for
several reasons: Many are “essential workers” who are required to go to
work (some without protective equipment) and face potential exposure to the
virus. Others lack health care. Some have lost their jobs, introducing
still more uncertainty into their lives. And some suffer from pre-existing
health conditions, sometimes as a result of poverty and inequality, which
put them at greater risk. Thousands are also undocumented, compounding
their vulnerability.
