COVID-19 has disproportionately affected ethnic minority communities in the UK - certain populations have been extremely vulnerable thanks to systemic racist treatment, class disadvantages and vulnerability to the worst predations of capitalism.

Many of these people have died unnecessarily because of the artificial vulnerabilities capitalism imposes on certain racialised communities. Vulnerable groups have essentially been forced into working without safety precautions. https://www.etui.org/news/made-britain-covid-19-outbreak-british-sweatshops

Outbreaks in places like Leicester showed that workers who were stricken with the illness and became carriers were 'predominantly female & primarily from Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi migrant communities or coming from Eastern Europe'. Capital forced them (& us) into danger.

As @GlumBird has shown repeatedly, other vulnerable people like the disabled have disproportionately borne the violence of the UK government's plan, which amounts to eugenics. This is an assault on the old, the disabled and ethnic minorities. https://twitter.com/GlumBird/status/1309070699630387208?s=20

More on the deliberate introduction of infected patients into care homes here. This extraordinary violence is being done largely in plain sight - media attention and political punditry has largely passed it by. These groups are being cast as unpeople.
