To all the people that said “there’s no evidence racial disparities in COVID impact exist.”

I represent the most impacted neighborhoods in the country: Corona & East Elmhurst.

These are overwhelmingly Black & Latino neighborhoods. Louis Armstrong’s house is here. https://twitter.com/marklevinenyc/status/1246177752098705408

I incl that last detail to illustrate that these are also HISTORICALLY Black communities, which means they have been impacted by racist policies like redlining for generations.

This pandemic is happening in CONTEXT. & a lot of folks who deny racism have no idea what it really is
