Destiny by zipcode

M. Chandra Sekar

Abstract


Few years ago at the American Public Health meeting I saw a  a big billboard that informed me of the life expectancy across various districts in US. While I was aware of existing disparities in healthcare system, still, the large impact on life care expectancy shocked me. This was followed by Covid, which exacerbated those disparities and cost us one million lives.

Keywords
