After his death on April 18, Trevor's blood was donated to research into the effects of Covid-19 in people from BAME communities, his friend Damian Briggs said. https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/london-coronavirus-taxi-driver-died-18291825?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar
Belly Mujinga died on 5 April, days before Trevor Belle's death.

Both were transport workers. Both were spat at. Both contracted Covid-19. Both were Black. https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/victoria-station-railway-worker-dies-of-coronavirus-after-being-spat-at_uk_5eba771bc5b69011a573a74d?ncid=other_huffpostre_pqylmel2bk8&utm_campaign=related_articles
It would appear that Covid-19 has given rise to an increase in racist spit attacks. And not just in the UK but all over the world. ⤵️
