THE GUARDIAN: "The Coronavirus Can Infect Anybody, but African Americans are Dying in Disproportionate Numbers, Especially in Certain Big Cities"

"As the US climbed to more than 10,000 coronavirus deaths on Monday state health officials grappled with its disproportionate impact on black Americans. The disparity is especially stark in cities like New Orleans, Chicago and Detroit, where high concentrations of African Americans live."

". . .[Health] risks are significantly exacerbated by racial inequities in healthcare, including facility closures and caps on public health insurance plans like Medicaid and Medicare. African Americans are twice as likely to lack health insurance compared with their white counterparts, and more likely to live in medically underserved areas, where primary care is sparse or expensive."

"It's a racial justice issue," Kristen Clarke, The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights
