For my second story, hopefully it will suffice for everyone to understand and grasp the systematic life the Caribbean Community faces during COVID-19. I will mention how the community deals with an ideological approach on being the highest attraction of the virus and increase on death rates. During the presidential debates, one of the topics discussed between President Donald Trump and nominee Joe Biden was about the Black and Brown community being 1 in 1000 are dying from the virus because the majority of the community are essential workers on the front line during this tragic pandemic. The lowest death rate comparisons are the White and Asian communities. The CDC concluded this approach to be a racial disparity of discrimination towards the community.
My goal for this story is to get the perspective from the community how these new systematic ratios should not be the reason why the people have increased death rates and are the most prone to spread the virus. Although the majority of the community are working essential jobs such as Medical, Transit, Construction, Technical and Law Enforcement and many more which makes it difficult knowing that full exposure can occur at any time.
My Editor and I have completed a questionnaire that we are sharing to the community and posting via Facebook and LinkedIn to get everyones opinion on this topic and the more feedback received the better to back up my story while the community tries to find solice during this pandemic and in general life changes.
