When the pandemic has run its course we will see that #coronavirus discriminates and that a higher degree of poor people in the USA will have died from #Covid_19 #COVIDUSA
Who will deny this? #WhitePrivilege

There are 2.9 hospital beds for every 1,000 people in the United States. That’s fewer than Turkmenistan (7.4 beds per 1,000), Mongolia (7.0), Argentina (5.0) and Libya (3.7). In fact, the US ranks 69th out of 182 countries analyzed by the World Health Organization. #Covid_19
This lack of hospital beds is forcing doctors across the country to ration care under Covid-19, pushing up the number of preventable deaths. #Covid19usa
America’s numbers are similarly unimpressive when it comes to medical doctors. The United States has 2.6 doctors per 1,000 people, placing it behind Trinidad & Tobago (2.7), and Russia (4.0 doctors per 1,000, for a country that is described as being “in transition”).
We’ve been tricked. We’ve been told that America, like most other majority-white countries, deserves the title “developed economy”. It does not. You can not charge a woman $39.95 to hold the baby that she has just given birth to. (This article is a no-brainer for many Americans).
