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 don’t have that data—yet,” she added:
That’s why last week @AyannaPressley and I sent a letter to HHS urging them to collect and release racial data on coronavirus. I’m grateful that our colleagues @CoryBooker, @KamalaHarris and @RobinLynneKelly have signed on—and I urge others to do the same.https://t.co/M62oNoFZQV

Several people dismissed Warren’s 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 there’s 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 Prevention’s (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

apparently the virus hasn’t hit the Fake Injun Squaw racial group yet
Isn’t a lawyer supposed to avoid asking a question she doesn’t already know the answer to?
With fake Indian Warren, all she cares about is race, meanwhile she made a fortune LYING about being an Indian, go back into your teepee Warren
How will she categorize herself?
A typical socialist.
Spend millions, hire thousands to fill out mountains of paperwork when that money needs to be spent on finding a cure.
A classic case of re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I don’t think she needs to be worried about finding any relatives among minorities.
On a serious note, what is the obsession with race? How does that make any difference? Africa, Asia, American Indians, Mongols, Middle-Easterners, and Europeans have been getting this virus. Why would it make a difference to find out which race, in the most diverse country on Earth, has it?
How about contributing to a solution for everyone? I’m sure most humans want this solved, regardless of who is saved/spared. Warren is guided by ideology and not objective reasoning. Ugh.
“What does she want?”
Attention.
eff you, you 1/1024th half breed
Now we know what the latest DNC talking point is, because the media is shilling bigtime.
It is odd being lectured to about coronavirus by an old bat.
I think that she’s specifically trying to find the numbers on how many fake Indians have or could get the virus.
Real ones e.g. the navajo nation, has been hit hard here.
relax have beer and stick the empty you know where
Demands?
What difference does it make? I mean, seriously, people are being treated for their symptoms and medical needs.
Now viruses are raciss.
Who woulda known.
“It is odd being lectured to about coronavirus by an old bat.”
The above has been stolen.
YOU LOST, lying bitch! Nobody wants to hear you. Go lick your festering wounds in private.
