“In these Figures, it takes the breath away”: Coronavirus meets Black in the United States particularly hard
08.25 PM: The Coronavirus knows no ethnic boundaries. In the US, African-Americans, it seems, but especially by the pandemic affected. While there is no country-wide statistics, but Figures from a number of States in a frightening sign of the image: In the southern state of Louisiana Black stand for 33 percent of the population, but 70 percent of the deaths. In Illinois, where the proportion of the population of African-Americans is 14 percent, with 42 percent of the dead Black.
Around 70 per cent of the Coronavirus-related deaths in the city of Chicago are African-American, with a population share of 30 per cent. “These Figures will take your breath away,” said mayor Lori Lightfoot this week. "The act is a call to all of us to."
For the shocking Figures, there are a number of reasons: poverty, social disadvantage, discrimination, the weaknesses of the health system.
So African-Americans suffer in the United States poverty is due more to chronic diseases that, in turn, is an infection with the Coronavirus is much more dangerous. “We know that Black people have a disease at a higher risk for Diabetes, heart disease, and lung”, said recently the US Supreme physician Jerome Adams – himself an African American.

Even the “Surgeon General sees” as the best example: He said high blood pressure, Asthma and a heart problem, Adams. “I symbolises, what it means, in America, poor and black to grow up.”
Poorer parts of the city with a high proportion of Blacks have less Doctors and less well-equipped hospitals. The medical insurance for employees in service occupations with low wages are no worse than for other Employees. Tens of millions of US citizens have no health insurance or are under-insured.
This led, among other things, that Black had less chances of a Coronavirus-Test and, hence, a rapid and appropriate treatment. James Hildreth from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, says the news Agency AFP, in the city of the first Tests in a hospital had been available, which is visited mostly by insured patients. Later Tests were also Poorer available.
Studies from recent years indicate a structural discrimination of Blacks up to the treatment room. The anaesthetist Ebony Hilton from the Medical Center of the University of Virginia says, Doctors would take symptoms in African-American patients are less often seriously or adequately investigated. Studies show that African-Americans have certain diseases fewer opportunities to be a specialist.
The chief of the physicians organization American Public Health Association, Georges Benjamin, refers in the Coronavirus crisis on the social Dimension in the world of work. African-Americans would exert increasing service occupations with a lot of contact with the population and have therefore a higher risk of infection: bus drivers, nurses in old people’s homes, the supermarket sellers. Working from home is not an Option and the ride on the Bus or subway is inevitable.
06.57 PM: In the US the second day in a row, almost 2000 people after infection with the novel Coronavirus have died. Overall, the number of dead was in the country on 14.817, as shortly after midnight on Thursday (local time) from the data of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore showed. 24 hours earlier, the University had reported the number of dead is still with EUR 12,907.

The website of the University is updated on a regular basis and therefore shows a higher level of confirmed infections as the official Figures from the world health organization (WHO) and the US health authority CDC.
