That's contributing to much higher death rates from COVID-19 in these communities. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190311152735.htm

Pollution is an ongoing public health crisis we can't ignore.
Worldwide, COVID-19 has killed on average over 2,300 people a day.
Pollution is killing nearly 20,000 people a day.

In the United States, air pollution is linked to nearly every major cause of death: heart disease, cancer, lung disease, kidney disease, stroke, Alzheimers, diabetes, flu and even suicides. https://www.wired.com/story/air-pollution-dementia/
The fossil fuel industry is spending millions on TV Ads that portray them as "part of the solution" to fighting the coronavirus.
In reality, they're lobbying the Trump administration for handouts so they can pollute even more than ever. https://www.drillednews.com/post/the-climate-covid-19-policy-tracker

It's time to connect the dots: burning fossil fuels causes pollution that endangers our health and makes diseases like COVID 19 worse.
