"If we don't know who is sick, we're not going to know in six months, 12 months, 18, however long it takes, who should be getting the vaccination. We're not going to know where we should be directing our personal protective equipment to make sure that health care workers are protected," he says.NPR's analysis finds that in 32 states plus Washington D.C., blacks are dying at rates higher than their proportion of the population.
Their analysis shows that while disproportionately black counties account for only 30% of the U.S. population, they were the location of 56% of COVID-19 deaths. And even disproportionately black counties with above-average wealth and health care coverage bore an unequal share of deaths. "In the early stages, when we were noticing increased Latino hospitalization at our own hospital and we felt that no one was paying attention and that people were just happy that San Francisco was crushing the curve," she says."It felt horrendous. It felt as if people were dismissing those lives. ... It took people longer to realize what was going on."
The disproportionate share of deaths isn't as stark for Latinos as it is for African-Americans. Fernandez says that's likely because the U.S. Latino population
Why do you lie and single out whites by using PoC blanket to point out the disproportion mgodoyh? Black Americans are being hit harder. We cant find out solution and tackles problems as long as people like you invoke racial tensions for your personal benefits.
So NPR is fanning the flames of racism with more taxpayer money involved than facts. All things considered would include a point about a failed ' great society 'policy would it not?
Well, maybe the comminities of color better change their behavior. You don’t like the results, change what you’re doing. CommonSense
Maybe it has something to do with 48% of African American adults being obese, and the high rate of smoking in the community? Stop trying to start a race war.
No let’s not look into vitamin d and the correlation between vit-d deficiencies in people of color and covid cases. Nope couldn’t be that. Has to be racism.
Stop with the BS. We all know it's a fraud.
MichaelsMoss ref to our conversation abt Covid19 vs black people in UK 🇬🇧
Really? Never would have thunk it
Wow, yet another white people are evil and black people are good story. No mention of differences in obesity or othef conditions, always the fault of whitey, only explanation ever offers.
So give us stats among poor white people
Really? Bad health is learned behavior. Good health is learned behavior. No discrimination is holding black Americans back from learning or practicing better behavior. Structural discrimination is a strawman argument. nytopinion IBDeditorials nprpolitics
I wonder whether the comparison by race is false, and the variable that should be used is socioeconomic status. In other words, African-Americans in upper middle class neighborhoods have COVID experience similar to their white neighbors. Is it race or the way persons live?
50% covid19-infected Americans are Black and 90% of this percentage who die are still Black! And you keep wondering why Donald Trump wanted it to spread even further? What’s the World coming to?
Genocide. All well planned.
Genocide. Strategically planned to clean the nation.
400 years of racisl neglect and abuse.
Nazi China make and leak viruses killing world
Or maybe it’s chronic vitamin D deficiency?
Could you possibly start writing stories that help the situation rather than inflame it?
You not been watching the news? Seems those same people have an inability to follow rules. When you constantly run in packs the whole pack catches the same disease.
Trump Genocide!
What a load of crap! Now Nature is racist? What the hell you gonna do? Leave the planet? Need help packing? Society won’t miss stupid people!
So it’s a racist virus I guess.
