the navajo nation has officially exceeded 1000 COVID-19 cases. statewide data shows:
• in NM, +36% of all positive cases are native
• in AZ, natives make up 16% of COVID-19 deaths
the navajo nation is disproportionately impacted + it’s not being talked about enough.

“is there more data?”
eh, not really. NM has more race specific data available. According to @azcentral, AZ “says race is unknown for 63% of the coronavirus cases and 48% of those who have died.”
pretty shocking considering natives are most at risk and heavily impacted.
