Washington sources stated that US President donald trump said evidence shows African Americans having higher rates of Covid 19 infection in the United States. A total of 4,34,114 confirmed cases and 14,762 fatalaties due to deadly novel coronavirus have been reported in the country so far. On tuesday, trump said his administration is actively engaging on the problem of increased impacts on the African American community, and doing everything to address this challenge.
"It's been disproportional," trump told a white house press briefing, adding he is very concerned about the terrible numbers of infected African Americans.Public health officials and experts have blamed the high death rate to the high incidence of underlying conditions such as blood pressure and heart ailments, diabetes, asthma and obesity among African Americans, linked to poverty and the comparative lack of healthcare facilities among some communities.
trump said the white house would release data on coronavirus cases by race in the near future. Moreover Amid the COVID 19 pandemic, the US presidential election has been set as a contest between President donald trump and former Vice President Joe Biden after the socialist senator Bernie Sanders dropped out of the Democratic race for the nomination. By conceding to Biden on wednesday, Sanders will allow him and the party to focus on trump and get an early start for a campaign directly against trump stretching for the next seven months instead of spending resources for several months on infighting by party candidates for the nomination.
