, D-Wash. People of color, she says, are"hit harder, mortality rates are higher, and they do not have access to health care so they can't get the medical support they need."by health experts that revealed how the pandemic sickens and kills Black, Latino and Native Americans at higher rates than whites.
Edgardo's father, a Latino meatpacking plant worker, was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April. Within days, his mother and teenage sister were also infected. His father was hospitalized and intubated and spent 10 days on a ventilator in an induced coma. The report examines factors that contribute to unequal health outcomes, including historic exploitation of communities of color, segregation, discrimination and bias within the health care system.
Murray says Congress needs to pass relief funding for communities of color and expand testing and contact tracing among them. Congress also needs to develop a clear plan for equitably distributing a vaccine when one becomes available."If we leave out focusing on communities of color, this virus will continue to spread rapidly throughout all of our communities and will not be contained," Murray says.
Fix this And then maybe start caring about the harm your political stances on covid are doing to those communities. When this bs lockdown is over you don’t then get to complain about the harm you have caused with the lockdown.
little late, wouldn’t you say? the only way they can start to redeem themselves is by invoking the 25th amendment now.
Guess what. It's not a 'Senate committee report.' It's actually, as it says, a 'Democratic Staff Report.' NPR must be new to covering Congress.
And, exactly how is this going to be done? I’d love to hear how you stop a deadly virus that does Not Discriminate or Intentionally infect any one set of victims. Am I to assume that this virus is selective? I’d like to see the science behind this. Bring it on NPR!!
Dear non-whites: White people owe you nothing.
Covid hates darker skinned minorities. Blame Communist China, they hate them to.
So now Covid-19 is racist?
COVID-19 denies all accusations that it's disproportionally targeting blacks, latinos and native Americans for infection and death.
NPR dutifully publishes a press release from Senate Democrats without question or investigation. The sheep who listen to NPR think this is news.
Not racial - class disparities. Typical NPR manipulation, serving their masters, playing the race card to distract. When Bernie preaches Medicare for All, you call him extreme. Which one is it?
People living poorly have more health issues than those that don't. Mystery solved. Move on.
Obesity in hispanic community will be one big factor
So now the pandemic is racist... Folks, come on here. How do you not see media and politicians causing this divide?
Why are we acting as if this is some huge mystery. People living in poverty will always suffer disproportionate harm until government steps in and makes resources available to give them equal access. This isn't just true in the US, but all over the globe.
Easy. Reduce the salaries of the senators, give it to these communities. That will show everyone where their heart really is. Idiots.
Is this the first time you've used 'Latinos' instead of 'Latinx' in over a year?
They only mention Two cases in the story both survived Covid. No stats Saying More Black people than white people get Covid.
Not systemic....Take some vitamin D
Bixby, what's comorbidity?
So change their cultural habits or their biologic propensity to the virus
Probably nothing to do with cultural differences... _
Translation Alert from the GAM (the Great American Mail): Dem internal polling reports that minorities are not sufficiently motivated to vote Democrat in November, so Dems, who are in the minority in the Senate, release a report that minorities are persecuted. MSM will parrot.
I bet some of that SinglePayer would have come in handy. Which Demographic do you think would have benefitted? ThanksObama
About 60% of cases in California affect Latinos, and about 50% of deaths. With Democrats ruling the state for fifty years, looks to me like their polices have failed Latino-Americans.
Someone arrest that virus and charge it with a hate crime!
Let’s find out what it has done to all people ! Including white people . Because they are people too !
Race, Race, Race....You realize the systemic racism is a fallacy no matter how many times you push the agenda?
