COVID-19 and Black America
Guest: Glenn Ellis, medical ethicist, health columnist, and Harvard fellow
​
Join medical ethicist Glenn Ellis, popular radio host Terry Base, and Garcia Williams, executive director of The Medi, for a #COVID19 conversation about the impact of COVID-19 based on social determinants of health.
​
Don’t you already know everything you need to know about coronavirus? What else is there to know that you haven’t already heard? This.
​
Glenn will share a few “truths” that few know about, and are specific to poor people and African Americans in this country:
​
CALL YOUR DOCTOR | For millions of black, brown, and poor people in this country, that is not an option. Listen to find out why.
​
STAY IN PLACE | Home might be one of the least safe places people of color or poor people can be right now. Listen to find out why.
​
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS | More than half of black Americans are a vulnerable population! Listen to find out why.
​
