When It Comes To Coronavirus Deaths, Race Issues by Yenicall: 2:58am On Aug 05, 2020 |
https://prospect.org/coronavirus/when-it-comes-to-covid-19-deaths-race-matters/ "At the epicenter of the country’s pandemic, New York City, the death toll of blacks and Latinos was about twice the total population. In Chicago, the gap is even worse: blacks account for 70% of coronavirus deaths, but about 30% of the population of the city. In early April, before the in-person vote in Wisconsin, about 80% of Milwaukee’s coronavirus deaths were black, even though the city’s share of blacks in the population was only 25%. Since then, seven more coronavirus cases have been linked to voting on election day, but the full impact of the spread of the virus is unclear. These statistics shocked many people, but environmental justice experts and advocates are not surprised. " |
