Under the new crown epidemic, the serious racism problem in the United States has become more prominent.
The US "Washington Post" website recently published an expert opinion that data related to the epidemic indicated that the medical system caused more African Americans to die due to racism.
The "Washington Post" published a commentary article entitled "Hospitals under quarantine are killing black people. The data under the epidemic proves this."
According to the report, medical experts David Ash and Rachel Warner of the University of Pennsylvania recently published a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The death rate may be reduced by 10% if the same hospital entered for treatment.
Experts came to this conclusion after investigating 44,000 patients in 1,200 hospitals in 41 states and Washington DC from January to September 21, 2020.
Experts point out that their research shows that the hospitals that African Americans often go to have a worse level of diagnosis and treatment. The root cause is racism.
Years of apartheid have resulted in clear boundaries between the areas where African Americans and whites live.
The inequality of resources such as development and education has exacerbated this isolation.
In the de facto Afro-descendant communities that are still isolated, the motivation for economic development and upward mobility has been deprived, and this situation continues to this day.
Experts emphasize that centuries of racism has allowed the degree of apartheid in the United States to such a degree that it has led to inequality in the income structure.
Under the new crown epidemic, this continuous impact has become prominent.
And this is not a mystery, this kind of influence is predictable, not inevitable.
