'They know that they’re incurring a risk, but it’s for a greater cause,” one Atlanta physician says.
Health experts have identified older Americans and those with underlying health conditions as the people most susceptible to the novel coronavirus. But federal data show that for people between the ages of 5 and 54, more black Americans have died than their white counterparts, despite the fact that nearly 77 percent of the nation is white.
Fulton County, where Atlanta is based, has already had the greatest number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Georgia. In Atlanta, more than half of positive patients are black and 83 percent of those who have died have been African American. Testing sites in Pennsylvania, Illinois and New York closed down after violence broke out over the weekend. Private testing sites in New York City either closed or reduced their hours as protesters were out on the streets, and Minnesota’s public labs were evacuated Friday, though they resumed testing Monday.
“My worry is that we’ve already seen this so disproportionately impact black and brown communities in Chicago,” Arwady said, according to afrom WGN. “What I want is for all of us, especially those communities, is to get on the other side of Covid here.”
