Black Americans Are The Most Effected With COVID-19

The US has turned out as the worst-hit nation in terms of the positive cases of novel coronavirus as the total cases in the nation are running towards the 5,00,000 mark which is quite scary.

What's even scarier is that the Americans living in the southern part of the nation are being affected by the virus badly. Most of them are the Africans settled there who are predominantly known as Black Americans.

As most of them live in poverty and below the poverty line they tend to suffer more from the pandemic with lack of access and money.

If we look at regions like Lousiana and New Orleans most of the deaths reported are of Black Americans while Louisiana reported 70% of deaths of the Black Americans and New Orleans resulted in more deaths and positive cases when compared to the other parts of the country.

It is believed that the rise of the population in these regions in recent times is also one of the reasons for the deadly situation concerned with the scarcity of the medical equipment in the county.
