Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is demanding the racial data of those contracting the novel coronavirus, contending that it is critical to ensuring an equitable and just response to this crisis across the board.
While the virus appears to be no respecter of persons, infecting more than one million people globally, Warren believes it is critical to have racial data to properly respond to the pandemic.
Our health care system is rife with racial disparities. Racial data on coronavirus will be critical to ensuring an equitable and just response to this crisis across the board, she wrote in a tweet, referencing an article from the Atlantic.
But we dont have that datayet, she added:
Thats why last week @AyannaPressley and I sent a letter to HHS urging them to collect and release racial data on coronavirus. Im grateful that our colleagues @CoryBooker, @KamalaHarris and @RobinLynneKelly have signed onand I urge others to do the same.https://t.co/M62oNoFZQV

Several people dismissed Warrens plea.
OMG do we really care what color the person was who died? We are all Americans, one user wrote.
Really? Even a global pandemic has to be about race? another asked.
So the virus discriminates?? another inquired.
The coronavirus is infecting and killing Americans of all races. But theres little public data on whether the virus is having a disproportionate impact on some communities, Ibram X. Kendi, director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University, wrote in the Atlantic piece Warren touted.
Kendi, in the piece, lamented the lack of racial data from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) website, as well as the Johns Hopkins University database.
Few states, municipalities, or private labs are releasing their data by race, Kendi wrote, citing data from the Illinois

That’s because she is a racist.
who?
Of those who contract the virus, % critical and age are much more important data points. Only an idiot would think race information is important in order to respond well!!
She can’t even report her own race correctly!
Well liarwatha, looks to me like it’s humans 100% infected/dying aliens 0%.
See ACER2 gene
If we release that I hope we release the number of illegals clogging our healthcare in NY C at the same time.

This woman is a joke. So shes saying that she would base her policy on the race of the COVID 19 victims.

Women and minorities most affected.
It was nice, while it lasted, not hearing from her
What if it turns out that a large proportion are Chinese?
Racial politics or race politics is the use of race, as a human categorization or hierarchical identifier, in political discourse, campaigns, or within the societal and cultural climate created by such practice. The phenomenon can involve the activity of political actors exploiting the issue of race to forward an agenda. ~ Wikipedia
They should re-test her, and this time use all of her blood.
I knew this was going to happen! I saw a picture of blacks in Oakland gathering in the streets to watch some car stunts or something. There was no social distancing there, but if many of them get sick from the virus, it will be blamed on racism. Mark my words. Every bad thing that has ever happened or ever will happen is now being blamed on racism. This crap is really old.

Esta mierda otra vez? What part of HIPPA/medical privacy does that dumb bitch not understand? The Chinese virus is an equal opportunity infection...

Even in a pandemic they dont give up agitating. And some people still think this will all be resolved peacefully.
