The lawmakers also asked for updated reports from HHS’ six subcommittees and the agency as a whole with updates on what the administration has done to alleviate racial health disparities over the last five years, as required under the terms of the Affordable Care Act.
“[HHS] is required by law to report biannually to Congress on its progress to address health disparities, but these reports appear to have stopped under the Trump Administration,” the lawmakers wrote. Warren and Pressley are requesting a response from the Trump administration by July 28. In April, a measure drafted by the two lawmakers, mandating the Centers for Disease Control and other HHS agencies collect and report coronavirus demographic data. . Parts of the legislation mandating that the agencies report the data were passed in a relief package. So far, the CDC has issued two reports required by the bill.
HHS also recently awarded a grant to Morehouse School of Medicine to work with local communities to address minority populations hardest hit by the disease. A number of CDC staffers have also been deployed to states experiencing increases, some to better understand outbreaks disproportionately impacting people of color.

There is proof from Berger Sorensen & 2 other scientists that the Coronavirus was engineered in a lab. Their work was published in the Quarterly Review of BioPhysics. Sen Warren & Rep Pressley need to ask the Chinese scientific community why there is a disparity by race.
More lies and propaganda
Only they can change their environment, personal responsibility!
If they represent people, where was their concern before the Covid event? Busy being politicians? Consumed in their self importance? Collecting a fortune from lobbyists etc.? What did they learn or do during 2009 H1N1? What was POTUS O doing about this perceived injustice?
