Throughout the pandemic, few places in the country have seen as much loss as north central Georgia’s majority-Black Hancock County. The death rate here is the nation's fourth-highest, 3.5 times the U.S rate. About one in every 100 people have died in the sprawling county dotted with abandoned brick buildings, pastures, kitchen gardens and family cemetery plots. Communities of color in the U.S. have been disproportionally impacted by COVID-19. Among Hancock county’s 8,600 residents, whole families are gone.
