A new survey has shown that the Hispanic community is three times more likely to have suffered from the disease or lost a family member to the Coronavirus.
The Coronavirus pandemic in the United States has made it clear that being healthy is a privilege.
What was once perceived as Democratic political proselytism is now a palpable reality when it is precisely people of color who have the highest infection and death rates in the country.
In early April, the New York Times reported a disproportionately high rate of infection and death in the African-American community, especially in the most densely populated cities.
