| Video Discription | Amid the intensification of the coronavirus pandemic, in the United States early data is suggesting that Black and Latinx communities make up a disproportionate number of COVID-19 deaths. In Chicago alone, where Black people make up just 30% of the population, 70% of the city's deaths were Black residents. In Louisiana, African Americans comprise 32% of the population, but 70% of the COVID-19-related deaths. Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones, a family physician and epidemiologist, says that COVID-19 exposes a two-fold manifestation of racism in the U.S., and Black communities are at particular risk due to greater "exposure" and "vulnerability" to the virus. "We are in more front-facing, low-income, underappreciated jobs, where we are part of the essential workforce that really isn’t getting its full attention, and certainly not getting the full protection that we need," she says. #DemocracyNow Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on nearly 1,400 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
