The disparity between COVID-19 deaths
I read online while researching for my paper that in Louisiana African Americans make up 41% of the deaths from COVID-19. The article talks about how those who have higher risk factors such as high blood pressure are also parts of the poorer communities. It's difficult for people with low incomes to stop working, and as a result they can get exposed more to the virus.

This is very interesting. I find it crazy that these type of things can happen. They should probably do something about this, like spread awareness sorta like we were gonna do with the fire alarm stuff. Hope you guys are doing well. 0___0
