Want A COVID-19 Test? It’s Much Easier To Get In Wealthier, Whiter Neighborhoods

that the federal government’s job would be mostly managing the logistics of testing such as supplies and distribution of state funds, as opposed to overseeing the coordination of state testing plans.

Our analysis revealed that, in many cities, testing sites in and near predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods are likely to serve far more patients than those near predominantly white areas.A similar disparity exists between richer and poorer neighborhoods, our analysis showed: Testing resources were more scarce in poorer areas, with fewer sites per person and sites located farther away.

And our calculation of potential demand for testing at some sites in those underserved neighborhoods is likely an underestimation: Based on our reporting, many of the testing sites in those neighborhoods are government-funded community sites. These sites are set up to close the gaps in testing access in different communities, but they tend to be very popular among people from all across the county or urban area because they are often free and don’t require an appointment.

FiveThirtyEight No shit Sherlock. We all knew that.

Well yeah. They're smarter with their funding. Its not tied up in social programs like the drug needle program or homelessness. The actually know how to run their cities. Its not a race issue.

Unbelievable...ABC just doesn’t stop pushing a race agenda.

😂 The first places to have were the ghettos of Chicago...and it was free! Guess that isn’t convenient enough. They should have had home tests and been paid to take them. 😉

News outlets... please stop with the racial divide articles!

Does that mean it’s harder for Jimmy Kimmel to get tested ?

Much easier to get in the NBA Bubble too.

Everything in America is about race...EVERYTHING

I wonder why ABC news doesn't give more high positions to poc but will talk about others?

Junk.

Fucking race bait.

Will not watch ABC anymore. All the media should be ashamed of what they are doing to this Country. Constantly stirring shit up so that it will never end and keep making everything a white or black thing. Fuck You ABC, extremely tasteless News. Desperate huh?

What a lot of rubbish. They're free to anyone if the hospital you visit has them, but the questions should be 'do they work and would you really want one?'

Tests are easy to get, anywhere. It’s a matter of getting your labwork back. And those results take 1 week, plus, regardless of skin color, because the national labs processing tests Have. No. Idea. What. Your. Skin. Color. Is. Nice blatant race baiting attempt, though, I guess.

Why does China take the swab in the mouth, and the US and CND are being forced to take it up the nose?

Boo booo Stop adding fuel to the fire why tho what difference does it make everybody’s dying from corona! And the riots and the criminals need to get off the street! And WTF Wear a mask while you’re at it! BAD Unity on your part.🤮🤮🤢

Racist tests. CancelTesting

“Wealthier and whiter” nice headline there ABC. Well done.

abc and CNN trying everything and anything possible to divide this country

LIES!! I'm sure California's 2 largest testing sites at Dodger Stadium and Inglewood in Los Angeles are the WHITEST areas ever in the city. Those are the two least white areas in arguably the country! That's why they're the easiest place to get a test....What a dumb article.

And meanwhile here in my world

Keep stirring the pot
