COVID-19 Youth Perspective 5

COVID-19 Youth Perspective

Within these podcasts, the students break down how politics were affected because of Covid-19, the black community's socioeconomics, and how has COVID-19 affected us. Youth host Marcel Martins discusses how Covid-19 shed light on the racial disparities affecting our community. One example of racial disparities that he mentioned was the disproportional medical resources and lack of adequate representation. He emphasizes how this could detrimentally tip the number of cases. Marcel then talks about how our healthcare system and the government failed the black community highlighting how America handles things like a pandemic. Finally, he starts to discuss how Covid-19 has affected the black youth, especially in his community. He talks about how life has become extremely hard for the African American community because of COVID-19, not speaking out about health issues within these communities just because they do not affect your misrepresentation results.
