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.
“how can we help?”
