Tombstones mark graves at the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Portsmouth, Va., Tuesday, March 23, 2021. The longstanding racial gap in U.S. stroke death rates widened dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, new research suggests. Stroke death rates increased for both Black and White adults in 2020 and 2021, according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday, April 20, 2023. But the difference between the two groups grew about 22%, compared to the five years before the pandemic. (AP Photo/Steve Helber) **FILE**
