New York’s Covid-19 divide

At first glance, it might seem that Covid-19 doesn’t discriminate between rich and poor. Still, New Yorkers living in lower-income parts of Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn run a higher risk of contracting the virus and dying from it than residents of wealthier neighborhoods. The inequality of the American healthcare system, focusing on profit, exacerbates the situation.

Watch "New York’s Covid-19 divide" on RTD website and on RT's live feed. The time of the broadcast is available on RT's schedule page.
