"On the 17th local time, Alex Azar, US Secretary of Health and Human Services, said in an interview with the US media that the important reason for the large number of novel coronavirus pneumonia in the United States is the health status of Americans, especially ethnic minority communities. This view was refuted by American media. According to CNN, Azar made relevant remarks when accepting CNN's "State of the Union Address" program, which was hosted by Jack Tapper. At the beginning of the program, Tapper pointed out that, The death toll in novel coronavirus pneumonia is approaching 90,000, Azar then blamed the health of Americans, He also said, "Unfortunately, the population of the United States is very diverse, and it is an ethnic group with serious unhealthy concomitants, which puts many people in our community, especially African Americans, and ethnic minority communities at risk, because these people have potential disease health differences and concomitants. This is an unfortunate legacy of the American health care system, and of course we have to solve it. "Azar's statement was quickly questioned by American media. CNN quoted the research results released by American Public Media (APM) on May 11, pointing out that at that time, the death toll in the United States exceeded 80,000, of which only 17,155 were black." https://info.51.ca/news/world/2020-05/889137.html |

Viruses have no nationality or race. But in the United States, Novel Coronavirus especially caused a large number of black deaths. Black people in Chicago are seven times more likely to die than white people. Why on earth is this? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52288760 |

"In New York City, the epicenter of the country's pandemic, the death toll of blacks and Latinos is about twice that of the total population. In Chicago, the gap is even more serious: blacks account for 70% of coronavirus deaths, but about 30% of the city's population. In early April, before Wisconsin voted in person, about 80% of the coronavirus deaths in Milwaukee were black, although the black share of the city's population was only 25%. Since then, seven more coronavirus cases have been related to voting on election day, but the full impact of virus transmission is still unclear. These statistics shocked many people, but environmental justice experts and advocates were not surprised. " https://prospect.org/coronavirus/when-it-comes-to-covid-19-deaths-race-matters/ |

"According to the Washington Post's analysis of early data from jurisdictions across the country, with the widespread spread of Novel Coronavirus in the United States, it seems that it is infecting and killing blacks at a very high rate. Increasing racial disparities led surgeons to personally acknowledge on Tuesday that African Americans are at increased risk, as a result of growing demand for public health officials to release more racial data on people who are sick, hospitalized and died of infectious diseases-more than 12,000 people in the United States. After-the-fact analysis of existing data and census demography shows that the infection rate in black counties is three times that in white counties, and the death rate is almost six times that of death. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/07/coronavirus-is-infecting-killing-black-americans-an-alarmingly-high-rate-post-analysis-shows/?arc404=true |
