Demographics

Late April (4), 2020.

The demographics are being released: the media is focusing on the lower-income and minority races being the hardest hit. Nothing about any Native American group. However, EWTN, a Catholic news network of all places, published a piece on the Navajo and how they are handling the situation. Apart from a couple Navajo Nation YouTube channels, there is not other source of information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on Native Americans.

People are starting to protest the stay-at-home orders publicly in some states. I feel like the nation will reopen too early and more people will get infected if we do that. Cuomo wants to reopen the state in stages by May 15 depending on a criterion that each county/section of the state needs to meet.
