NYC Health Dept has published an update on covid-19 by race.

Age adjusted deaths per 100k:

* African American 127.1
* Latino/a 114.0
* White 63.5
* Asian 51.6

We are not making progress on these gaps. What we're doing to fight inequality in this pandemic is simply not enough.
Right now we need to:
* Prioritize communities of color for testing
* Steer more resources to hospitals in low-income areas
* More PPE for essential workers
* Get medical care to people who are home-bound
* Reopen community clinics as soon as safe
* More non-English communication
