 Latinos in the United States say COVID-19 has harmed them and their loved ones in many ways. About half say a family member or close friend has been hospitalized or died from the coronavirus, and a similar share say they or someone in their household has lost a job or taken a pay cut. Yet amid these hardships, Latinos are upbeat about the future. Nearly two-thirds say the worst of the coronavirus outbreak is behind the country, and a majority say they expect their financial situation and that of their family to improve over the next year.  From 2016 through 2019, Republican members of Congress produced a modestly larger number of posts mentioning places and people in Asia than their Democratic counterparts. But in 2020, Republican lawmakers produced more than 21,000 such posts – three times as many as congressional Democrats. The increase was driven primarily by discussions of China, with GOP lawmakers often using critical language when mentioning the country in the context of COVID-19. Black and Hispanic adults in the United States remain less likely than White adults to say they own a traditional computer or have high-speed internet at home. These gaps have been present across several surveys. By contrast, there are no statistically significant racial and ethnic differences when it comes to smartphone or tablet ownership.
