The rules set in place an “equity metric” that will force larger counties to control the spread of Covid-19 in areas where Black, Latino and Pacific Islander groups have suffered a disproportionate share of cases due to a variety of socioeconomic factors

LOS ANGELES—California will begin to require counties to bring down coronavirus infection rates in disadvantaged communities that have been harder hit by the pandemic, a move that could slow the methodical reopening of the nation's most populous state.

The latest reopening plan that took effect in August is a four-step process based on the percentage of positive tests and per capita new cases in each of the 58 counties. It allows counties to incrementally reopen businesses as they meet more rigid state standards for both numbers for two consecutive weeks. Counties can be forced to close businesses if their rates increase.

Latinos make up about 40% of the state's population of just under 40 million, but about 60% of California's more than 800,000 COVID-19 cases and almost half the nearly 16,000 deaths. But Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist at University of California, San Francisco, said the rules will support efforts by health officers who have been pressured to reopen more quickly.

COVID does not discriminate. The FakeNews is always stirring shit up. I am Latina and I don’t have to wait for the government to tell me what to or to keep myself healthy. I don’t feel left out or abandon. I take initiative and take of my family.

Covid does not discriminate based on race. It attacks anyone and everyone exposed to it. Are you implying that certain races are receiving less treatment from medical professionals?

Newsom should be in prison
