Covid has threw into the spotlight the disparities that were already present, a dissporotunent of BIPOC people are lower income, being lower income effects your access to: good healthcare, good food, insurance, a good work environment, and ‘fall back cash’

A larger amount of BIPOC are unemployed and therefore don’t have insurance

That one of the reasons BIPOC are effected more is bc higher rates of obesity and heart cancer which are risk factors for covide-19
most of the main people with covid cases are diabetic and black.

In the past we have seen similar instances where the group that is disproportional effected faces the repercussion for years, for instance the 90’s aids epidemic resulted in the thinking that gay people are ‘dirty’ or ‘unclean’ this has resulted in years of discrimination. The covid- 19 pandemic is a fresh reminder of who has privilege in america, privilege to have good health insurance, access to good food and education and a job that does not put you at risk for getting covid-19.
