“Exposing U.S. Racism in a Stark New Way”: COVID-19 Kills Disproportionate Number of Black Americans
We speak with family physician and epidemiologist Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones about how the coronavirus is taking a devastating toll on black Americans, who are disproportionately dying from the virus across the country as a result of entrenched racial inequality.
Black Americans are more likely to have chronic health problems and less likely to have insurance. They also make up significant numbers of frontline workers that are still going to work amid the pandemic. Jones is the former president of the American Public Health Association. Her recent piece for Newsweek magazine is headlined “Coronavirus Disease Discriminates. Our Health Care Doesn’t Have To.”
The poorer are affected here too. 😔

Definitely. In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson could get a test and hospital intensive care. While many health care workers who have far less money than Johnson, can’t get tests and work without PPE.

Sad.
A nurse has said that should the lockdown continue, she intended quitting work to stay with her family.

All medical staff should get tests and PPE.

There are some; but because of the coronavirus, activism is mainly online, there are no mass demonstrations.
