New York City residents from low-income communities have tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies at a higher-than-average rate, underscoring the disproportionate impact of the disease on people of color, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday.

Cuomo told a daily briefing that of the 8,000 people tested in low-income communities of the city, 27% had antibodies for COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, compared with 19.9% in the general population.

As an example, Cuomo said 43% of those tested in Morrisania, a low-income residential area in the Bronx, were positive for antibodies. Morrisania also had a 81% higher hospitalization rate than the city’s average, he said. To combat the problem, Cuomo said the state was doubling its testing footprint in severely impacted communities to 44 churches.

Does it take a news organiyto work that out ffs

To is mein tweet karne ki Kaya bat hai ..we already knows..

Say it ain't so, Joe... And here I thought all the fat cats were taking the hit. ;~)

More than 1.5 million cases reported from US Latest updates | cases per million population👇 Corona COVID19Pandemic

That's the general idea.

Elites always overlook these areas! The elders, the poor, the sick, and minorities are not their concerns.

By the virus or police?

Because Cuomo doesn't give a shit about minorities or the elderly clearly.

You spelled nursing homes wrong.

It couldn’t be because they always yelling and do not follow directions at all right?

Yeah NY has been a disaster. Florida has more people in their state than NY and only a small fraction of people with the virus and much lower deaths.

Cuomo has no idea what he is doing. He should be recalled. He has caused the death of thousands of seniors with HIS policies and his late action allowed the virus to spread exponentially. He’s a disgrace, not a source of information.

So... Cuomo hates the elderly AND the poor. KillerCuomo

It’s because the low income victims are actual poor senior citizens in nursing homes. He forced infected patients into the most vulnerable places, nursing homes. He’s responsible for the needless death of thousands of grandmothers and grandfathers

And it’s NYGovCuomo and NYCMayor fault.

Oh... 🤓🙄

Good thing he's cutting healthcare funding for a bunch of them.

Considering that low Income housing is generally overpopulated, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, should it?

meanwhile, dozens of new york verterans sucide (everyday) and NYGovCuomo doesn't care anym ore than POTUS

This creepy little boy ordered Chinese virus patients into nursing homes, resulting in thousands of deaths. Now Reuters turns it into a race/class story? How deeply, disturbingly evil is that? Reuters, WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.

What do you Expect' when They expect us to go to 'HorseDoctors' for medical care , like my Mom told me Of, years ago.

He’s a failure on so many levels.

White guilt

Leftist New York. Highest mortality rates in the US, and placing all of America at risk...

AndrewCuomo

Of course he’s changing the narrative...what about nursing homes

Same everywhere, especially places like New Orleans
