Replication Data for Epidemiology of COVID-19 vs. Influenza: Differential Failure of COVID-19 Mitigation for Hispanics

Background: To better understand the epidemiology of COVID-19 among hospitalized Hispanic patients, we compared individual and census-tract level characteristics of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 to those diagnosed with influenza, another viral infection with respiratory transmission. Methods: We evaluated patients hospitalized at Cook County Health, Chicago, USA. Among self-identified hospitalized Hispanic patients, we compared those with influenza (2019-2020 season) to COVID-19 infection during March 16, 2020-May 11, 2020. We include patient-level and ecological variables from the US Census bureau.
