He leads us off with more on this disturbing trend that even the White House is now weighing in on.

From the moment the Corona virus outbreak began, health officials have preached that Cove it 19 doesn't discriminate that it's an equal opportunity killer.

But new reports strongly suggests that race still matters.

Look at Louisiana.

Of the more than 500 people whose final breaths were stolen by this disease, the state says that more than 2/3 of them were black.

Disturbingly, this information is going to show you this lightly more than 70% of all the deaths in Louisiana of African Americans.

So that deserves more attention, and we're gonna have to dig into that and see what we could do.

I just love that trend.

Down In Chicago, the numbers fall the same.

Most of the people who've gotten sick or died are people of color.

Nearly 70% of all covert 19 deaths in the city are African American, the city says.

That's nearly six times more fatal than what's being seen by their white neighbors.

Those numbers take your breath away.

They really do.

This is a call to action moment for all of us.

When we talk about equity and inclusion, they're not just nice notions.

They're an imperative that we must embrace as a city.

On Chicago's West Side, Reverend Marshall Hatch says it's been a tough few weeks.

Way had actually four deaths last week, and one of was my sister, who passed on Saturday, my oldest sister in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, where black Americans are just 26% of the population there, more than 70% of the deaths from the Corona virus.

The reports are startling in North Carolina, Connecticut and Michigan to based on our preliminary data, we see that it appears to be impacting minority populations greater, with 33% of cases and 40% of deaths being an African Americans, the n double A.

C P held a virtual news conference sounding the alarm.

But these are shocking numbers.

This shows the lack of inequity.

This exposes the structural deficits that we are known about.

But when you put an accelerate lack of Corona, buyers in the mist after American are disparate impact policy experts tell us they've seen this before.

We saw during H one n one that Native Americans and Latinos were much more likely to be hospitalized and even to die from the from the virus.

And we're seeing the same thing happened now with Corona virus places like Chicago, where black people were roughly 30% of the city's population but 70% of all Corona virus related fatalities.

There are few places in America that are keeping close track of how covert 19 is impacting communities of color.

And there are some familiar explanations for what's happening.

Higher rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and other conditions that make it more difficult for someone to fight off the new disease.

The sister of Reverend Hatch in Chicago was 73 years old and suffered from asthma.

Rhoda Jean played the organ at her brother's church.

But there's also the concern that Maur, black and Brown Americans are people like Detroit bus driver Jason Hargrove, an essential worker who posted this video seen by millions on Facebook, complaining about a sick passenger who he felt I should never have walked out of her home.

I feel violated.

I feel violated for the folks that I was on the bus when this happened.

It was about a good 89 people on the bus and she stood there calls that lets me know that some folks don't care.

He was a married father of six, and he died of Covert 19 just 11 days later.

There's something else that's happening in the middle of what's becoming a nationwide economic pause.

We're seeing reports of black and Latino service providers who are taking calculated risks to keep working because the social distancing isn't paying their bills.

Chicago's mayor even recorded this public service announcement, saying that this isn't the time for manicures and haircuts.

Get your roots done is not essential.

But when this photo was posted on social media showing the mayor here again, standing with her hair stylist, who wore gloves and a mask when she cut the mayor's hair, critics had a field day.

I'm the public face of the city.

I'm on national media and I'm out in the public eye and you know, I'm a I'm a I'm a person who I take my personal hygiene very seriously.

As I said, I felt like I needed to have a haircut among American families of color.

There's also a skepticism of public health authorities that dates back to the experiments that began in the 19 thirties in Tuskegee, Alabama, where black men who thought they were being treated for syphilis weren't Romel Peoples is a teacher in Brooklyn who says he doesn't trust the government with his health and at first thought Covert 19 was a hoax.

When it comes to the American government and the media, I never really trust what's being said or was being projected on Guy always feel like there is capitalistic intentions behind everything.

So when I started to see that, ah, that the economy was being affected and seemingly a negative way, that's when I started to realize that.

Okay, maybe there is actually something going on.

There are new concerns among black men about wearing face masks in public, worried that even more people will assume that they're criminals.

And this doctor, at an urgent care in New York City says that when people of color do get sick, the medical facilities and black and brown neighborhoods are often unable to provide the type of care these patients need.

So we know that in black and brown communities that typically these hospitals that are called minority serving hospitals and different studies that have shown this tent thio offer poor quality care on.

And we also know that they may not have the resources to deal with very sick Kobe 19 patients so they may not have the specialists like intensive care unit physicians.

They may not have the P, P E or the ventilators to really adequately care for these patients and then just even thinking about the vulnerability of these communities.

Before this pandemic even happened, we were in a crisis already adding insult to injury, It's harder for these families.

Toe weather The economic storm of covert 19 Experts underline that black and Latino workers are overrepresented in the restaurant and hotel industries for examples, which are nearly entirely shut down.

I'm employee at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

My wife and I, we both worked at the hotel arrest us.

Rodriguez is trying not to panic.

His wife was laid off three weeks ago, and he's down to just a few days a week of work at a Los Angeles hotel.

We're trying to comply with all the revelations that the authorities have determined you and we stay home, stay home and going out, you know, way hope that the things that are but as soon as possible in Orlando, Dorothy Miracle is trying to make a little extra driving a right shit.

But it's not working, you know, going well right now.

Yes and no.

Lift is not going there well and all.

I've been home for, like, a corner my second week, I believe, because of the Corona virus, because I didn't want to bring it into my grandkids as well as I didn't want to be sick myself, um, is really hard without the work.

Policy Experts say that the racial wealth gap in this country explains both why people of color are more likely to get sick and why they have more to fear from the shutdowns.

So what to do about this?

It turns out that some of the suggestions help everyone putting ah, hold on evictions, For example, in Atlanta, the mayor put out this notice announcing available rent reductions at all public housing, and she's prepared to keep those reductions going into June.

But health officials say that addressing the problem requires first seeing it, and there are calls for the federal government to start counting the impacts to people of color.

The president is discussing this, too, and were actively engaging on the problem of increased impacts.

There's a real problem, and it's showing up very strongly in our data on the African American community, and we're doing everything in our power to address this challenge.

It's a tremendous challenge.

It's terrible.

And Steve Oates and Sami joins us now from Atlanta, outside the Centers for Disease Control.

Steve, I think you just hit the nail on the head right that people have to see it first and then say it first.

And I think that this is really underlined with a bold marker.

Existing health issues in African American communities It is, and the president today is acknowledging.

Some of these disparities in his administration is now promising to help these communities as much as possible.

But some of these issues are persistent, persistent issues, lower access to healthcare, living in places where the water might not be clean, living in places where it's hard to find affordable and fresh food, these air concerns that become greater in a crisis and Lindsay.

There's also the socioeconomic part of this one thing I read today.

Most of the bus drivers in the city of Chicago are black.

Most of the food service workers are Latino.

Those populations are struggling hard in all of this, the black and brown communities also on the front lines as well.

And the bitter irony of this is that just a few weeks ago there were these rampant myths floating around online that black people weren't even getting Corona virus.

Yeah, that was one of the things that was out there, the idea that our melon in would make us immune to the disease.

But none of that, of course, is true.

As we're seeing right now.

Steve Austin.

Sami, Thank you so much for that report.
