Latino communities suffer as some states see record numbers of COVID-19 cases.
Friday marked the third straight day of record high cases of COVID-19 nationwide. Twenty-nine states, including California, Texas, Arizona and Florida, are seeing cases rise and it’s clear once again the virus is not hitting all demographics equally.
“What people are practicing is bad science. They are using their biases,” Dr. Jane L. Delgado, president and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, told ABC News. “Their predisposed beliefs about us make health care decisions that will not only hurt us, but it's going to cost the system more, because bad medicine costs more than good medicine.”
“My year started off well because I became a U.S. citizen,” he told ABC News in Spanish. “But this virus arrived and it’s been bad for everyone.”Maximo Cabral, originally from Mexico, fell ill with the coronavirus.Five percent of Alabama’s population is Latino, but they make up 10% of the state’s COVID-19 cases.
Delgado said it’s a disease that has struck the “soul and mental health well-being” of the Latino community.
