While lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have identified China as the gravest national security threat to the United States, House and Senate GOP members are accusing the president’s people and policies of failing to stand up to Beijing.

Blacks and Latinos are more likely to get sick and die from COVID than their white counterparts but also have more hesitancy and less access to the vaccine that can protect them.
In Chatham County for example, 13 of the 15 people age 45 or under who have died from COVID were Black or Latino. But of the first 18,000 people who received the vaccine through the Chatham County Health Department, only 17 percent were Black. African Americans make up 41 percent of the county.
To discuss these issues the Savannah Morning News, The Savannah Tribune and radio stations E-93 and Magic 103.9 hosted the panel The COVID Vaccine and You: What Black and Latino Communities Need to Know Thursday evening at St. Philip AME Church in Savannah. The in-person event was limited in number to comply with social distancing guidelines, but the panel was livestreamed at savannahnow.com and on Facebook to allow broader participation.
