I wish more health disparities research would move beyond describing the problems to understanding and solving them.
"Our hypothesis is that X patients will have [more of a bad outcome] [or] [less of a good outcome] in this health issue"

"This is innovative because this has not been adequately examined in this particular TINY SLICE OF DATA"
We're so comfortable in our incrementalism we forget there are lives at stake and the point of science is to have health impact

When COVID is long over, people will still be writing papers like "Observed racial disparities in COVID mortality across 17 counties with cold weather"
I'd love to se scientists, thought leaders, funders push towards unpacking disparities and putting furious energy into the solutions.
*see, dammit!
