This pandemic has really shined a light on what already exists it a wealth divide in america, new york, detroit chicago and los angeles all victims of the same story and theyre all major metropolitan areas with higher concentrations of the virus and higher concentrations of low income neighborhoods but as cnns tom foreman reports for us tonight. The wealth gap and this virus are not exclusive to big us cities. One 3rd of all us residents, sick enough from the virus to be admitted to hospitals are African Americans<\/a> weigh more than doubled their share of the population that is the suggestion from a small early sample of cases study by the cdc, its not definitive. But it implies in cities such as new york milwaukee, new orleans chicago in detroit. The pandemic is particularly threatening black communities, miss its hard for people ive lost 15 people in my life to this fire is here and see chart. Yes, the virus can be lethal to anyone but why is it 3 or 4 times a. More so. For the black community as opposed to. The other people the answer more africanamericans are living in poverty than almost any other group as a percentage often in densely populated cities with inadequate nutrition and education less insurance and access to medical care leaving them more likely to develop those related Health Issues<\/a> proving so deadly we know that underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes and Heart Disease<\/a> is virus is particularly the Surgeon General<\/a> suffers from some of those problems only 45 i represent that legacy of growing up poor and black in america and i and many black americans alright higher risk for covid whats more as skyrocketing unemployment makes free food lines explode poor communities are certainly growing poorer and the like many people in better paying positions even those low income folks who can hold on to their jobs often cant do them from home to work in a lot of the service industry. Fortunately is still dealing with the public and it will restore some of the service industries, there are still out there doing the job we need them to do. And so theyre bringing that home to their families is not new studies have shown an almost every type of calamity, poor communities are less prepared less able to compete for resources less quick to recover whatever the situation is. The Natural Disaster<\/a> Hurricane Katrina<\/a> the people standing on those rooftops were not rich white people. Why is it that the poorest people always paid the highest price. That was tom foreman reporting for us tonight. The u. S. Is set to reach its highest daily number of deaths on or around sunday. Thats according to models by the prominent institute for Health Metrics<\/a> and evaluation at the university of washington in seattle. And we briefly heard how the u. S. Surgeon general doctor jerome adams says talking today about how his own Health Issues<\/a> represent a quote legacy of growinp up poor and black in america. Well its alarming. But its not surprising that people of color have a greater burden of Chronic Health<\/a> conditions. Africanamericans and native americans excuse me develop high Blood Pressure<\/a> at much younger ages. Its less likely to be under control and as greater harm to their organs. Puerto ricans have higher rates of asthma and black boys are 3 times as likely to die of asthma as their white counterparts the matter of fact. Ive been carrying around an inhaler in my pocket for 40 years. Out of fear having a fatal asthma attack. I hope it showing you this inhaler shows little kids with asthma all across the country that they can grow up to be Surgeon General<\/a> one day. Doctor adams also underscored how important it is for communities of color to follow the administrations physical distancing guidelines and to refrain from using drugs in alcohol in excess see also asked later if that language was offensive he later walked back those comments and said that it was quote absolutely important for all americans to refrain from substance abuse.
