COVID 19 Hits Africans Americans More

While a virus can't discriminate, COVID-19 isn't hitting everyone equally. A new poll first published by OZY shows Black Americans are four times more likely than their white counterparts to know someone who's died of the disease. That's likely down to social inequities in frontline jobs: About a third of Black respondents told pollsters they're still having to leave the house for work — though they're less likely to go out for other reasons — compared to just a fifth of white people. And as states push to reopen, they'll be even more at risk.
