For the past two weeks, shelling Mitchell has battled an invisible enemy.

It might appear she's losing, but the 67 year old doesn't rely on what the eyes can see.

I'm coming back that you hope that or you know, that I know that I couldn't walk from my den, took my upstairs without being on.

While black Americans make up just over 13% of the U.

S.

CDC data shows that they were 33% of the reported Corona virus hospitalizations last month.

Among those patients, many who struggled with prior health conditions.

When all this is over, there will still be health disparities, which we really do need to address in the African American community on Lee, a few states air tracking the racial breakdown of covert 19 fatalities.

But if history is our teacher, the most vulnerable will continue to bear.

The run of this virus is deadly strike from Detroit to Milwaukee, New Orleans to Chicago, Detroit Motor City, the birthplace of Motown, once a bastion of manufacturing the city on its way to come back at least until the Corona virus struck.

Currently in the state of Michigan.

And we understand that 33% of the Kobe cases are African American.

40% of the depths are African American.

But yet African Americans only make up 14% of Michigan's population.

So those numbers air striking Doctor Kimberly Farrow is the CEO of Central City Integrated Health in Midtown.

Detroit Clinic serves a mostly African American population.

Then you receive Medicaid.

Some are uninsured.

Before we were dealing with covert, we were dealing with the war on obesity and heart disease and hypertension because we recognize that these populations are vulnerable, more vulnerable to these maladies.

To make things worse, the clinic had to stop seeing most patients in person after running out of P P e, she adds.

It's hard for her patients to even know if they have the disease testing sites.

Testing opportunities are very limited in inner city communities.

Most of the testing opportunities are in suburban areas.

Our patients already struggle with transportation, and so you have to either take a bus, find a ride to the testing areas, are walking, and that's just not realistic for our patients.

For Reverend Hatch, the pandemic came through his own doors when on Sunday it took the life of his sister.

She was the first in our family to go away, too college.

She was a public school teacher for 23 years, and she was really the matriarch of our family.

My best friend, Larry Harris, passed away as well.

He and I were friends for 45 years, and so it's really been a double blow for me personally, as someone who was also raised in church, right where our folk like to touch, lay hands on each of the rain.

If Cove in 19 you can't do that.

So how are you supposed to more?

This is about as a foreign of a feeling as I've ever had.

You know, we're used to being able to go in a church to find hope and have that taken away in the midst of this pandemic eject.

It is incredibly, incredibly frustrating and adds to the pain deeply.

The resource is there.

What else can you attribute it to?

Our decision to include race and ethnicity, a CZ, a measure of our cove it incidents was very important.

Screwed it to that declaration of racism as a public health issue.

Doctor Jeanette Croelick is the health commissioner for the city of Milwaukee.

She says combating the virus starts with being transparent about who was the victim here.
