the Greatest number of deaths from the coronavirus recorded among African Americans

the United States in the past two weeks, conduct the widest possible testing of the population on the coronavirus. Ready the tests showed an unusual result among infected and died from infection as a result of the coronavirus a huge number of African Americans.

For example, in Chicago, 72% of deaths from Covid-19 – African Americans, although they make up only 30% of the population, according to CNN. According to city officials in Chicago on April 5 from 4 680 1824 infected were black people. This is compared to 847 white, 478 126 Latinos and immigrants from Asia.

“These data provide a new view on the distribution Covid-19 and are a powerful reminder of deeply rooted in the country the problems that are the cause of such different consequences for the infected if they belong to different communities of Chicago,” said Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot.

In the state of Illinois, according to statistics provided by the Department of health, blacks make up about 40% of all victims of coronavirus, although African Americans make up only 14.6 percent of the state’s population.

In Michigan, according to the official Dunnth, the proportion of blacks accounted for 40% of all reported deaths from the virus, and the proportion of African Americans in the state population is only 14%.

At Milwaukee of thousands of infected 81% are African Americans, although in only 26%. Similar data are also given in other American cities and States.

About 40% of all deaths in the state had in New Orleans, where most residents are black. Governor John Edwards has already announced that it intends to conduct an investigation, which aims to establish what the reasons and actions could lead to such statistics.

However, health officials claim that the majority of New Orleans residents are prone to obesity, diabetes and hypertension, and indicators of comorbidities have higher than the national average, and this makes them more vulnerable to Covid-19.

according to Reuters, many States, including those most affected new York, do not publish data on the spread of the virus among different racial groups, but the data show that African Americans are more likely to die from Covid-19 in the power of unequal access to health care compared to the white population.

For this reason, the American lawyers Committee for civil rights appealed to the Federal government with the requirement to publish data relating to race and ethnicity of the victims of the coronavirus and infected.
