The coronavirus pandemic is hitting some communities much harder than others. We’ll take a look at the disproportionate toll it’s taking on African Americans.

From The Reading List

The New York Times: “Black Americans Face Alarming Rates of Coronavirus Infection in Some States” — “The coronavirus is infecting and killing black people in the United States at disproportionately high rates, according to data released by several states and big cities, highlighting what public health researchers say are entrenched inequalities in resources, health and access to care.”

The Associated Press: “Water shutoffs in sharp focus amid coronavirus outbreak” — “The advice is simple and universal: Washing your hands with soap and water is one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of the coronavirus. But for millions of people across the country, that’s not simple at all: They lack running water in their houses due to service shutoffs prompted by overdue bills.”

WBEZ: “In Chicago, 70% of COVID-19 Deaths Are Black” — “The COVID-19 virus is killing black residents in Cook County at disproportionately high rates, according to early data analyzed by WBEZ. While black residents make up only 23% of the population in the county, they account for 58% of the COVID-19 deaths. And half of the deceased lived in Chicago, according to data from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.”

The New York Times: “The Racial Time-Bomb in the Covid-19 Crisis” — “Early Monday morning the email arrived. The subject line began, ‘ALARM AT THE GATE,’ written in all caps. Someone had died. That is always what that phrasing means.”
