That coming up. Im anne makovec at the live news desk here. And we are following the aftermath of a huge earthquake along the alaska peninsula. It was a 7. 8 magnitude that hit at about 10 12 last night. Local time. And then there was the tsunami warning for a very large area and that sent people fleeing to Higher Ground. Luckily that warning was called off without any damaging waves. This is video as the sirens were going off in kodiak overnight. The quake centered in the water and that tsunami warning was for south alaska, the peninsula and the aleutian islands.

Staying safe. A crisis of unprecedented proportion the novel corona pandemic already infected 3 million and killed over 100,000 americans. The scale is staggering, efforts to produce a lifesaving vaccine, not all americans have been impacted equally. Communities of color are not only more likely to be infected by the covid19 but more likely to be killed by the virus. In my home state of new jersey africanamericans face up to covid19 fatalities. This trend was observed not only in new jersey, data from the cdc shows that africanamericans, 3 times more likely to be infected and twice as likely to die from covid19 than white populations.

Last fall, for example, the National Association had its Market Access blocked in china because an individual american citizen using a media platform not even allowed in china expressed a political opinion. Now the topic has
