Disparities in Death

Description: CGTN’s Wang Guan hones in on the people who have suffered most during the pandemic. An official calls it “vastly disproportionate amount of suffering in black and brown people”. Racism pervades healthcare, making black Americans shy away from the healthcare system due to past unethical experiments on blacks that destroyed their lives. Those historical memories have created a distrust that has survived generation after generation. Children are also a major victim. More than 200,000 youngsters have lost their parents or primary caregivers and face being placed in institutions where abuse and sexual molestation abound and could scar the for life.
