can happen to anyon-. But I also very much know from personal experiences the difficulties people face when they become subject to the criminal justice system. Our job is to protect, promote and advance the health and safety of our nation and a large number of our officers work in federal prisons. They are doctors, nurses, pharmacists in federal prisons, put there to keep people safe. And so we're in constant contact talking about ways we can promote good hygiene in those situations, making sure we're recognizing symptoms, making sure we're trying to do things to help people be safe. The most honest answer I can give you is it's difficult. It's difficult when you have people in close quarters tightly packed together. We are very aware of this personally and professionally. I'm invested in making sure we're trying to keep those individuals safe. Some in the African-American community have concerns about wearing masks outside and being targeted by law enforcement. What's your response? I hear you. I have to have talks with my two boys about the whole Trayvon Martin situation and that people will look at you and think you're up to no good because you're covering your face in some way, shape or form.

Our recommendations have changed in some cases and they will continue to change because we are always looking at the data each and every day, including breakdowns by race, ethnicity, and other potential risk factors. And we're always adapting what we tell people to do based on the newest data and most recent research. Do you think clear messaging about social distancing reached the black community in time? Well, I think that messaging about social distancing has been difficult in all communities. We still see that nine states have not issued stay-at-home orders for their citizens. And so, it's a challenge, and we have to balance these things. I think that's part of the reason why it's been hard to get that message out about social distancing and in addition to the fact that quite frankly, a lot of communities just didn't take this seriously enough early on. The good news is now the country is getting the message and acting on that by staying at home as much as possible. A lot of black and brown people can't social distance because of their living arrangements or employment situations. How can they stay safe? Well, you can't always maintain six feet from the nearest person at all times, but we can take pains while we're at work to say, 'Look, I'm going to do everything I can if I'm at work or I'm in public to keep that six feet distance between me and the next person.' If you are talking to someone, or near someone, try to turn to the side, try to not be in that direct line of fire. Always wash your hands frequently. Everything your mother told you, it's true. That's really what this comes down to, trying to practice good hygiene and stay away from folks. Is your office monitoring this spread throughout the prison system right now, or are you still

Number one, unfortunately in this country we know that being black means that you are likely...to be of a lower socioeconomic status and the things we're telling people to do to protect themselves — social distancing, staying home from work — are not options for people who are part of the gig economy or who were relying on a job which may or may not have health insurance to keep them safe. And when they do go home, in many cases, they aren't as able to be as far apart from others as someone would if they're living in a nice big house in the suburbs. So that's one reason why communities of color are at higher risk. We also know the communities of color unfortunately have a higher incidence of diabetes, of heart disease, of lung disease. And so that puts them at higher risk also. So what are we doing from a federal perspective? We're working with the CDC to make sure we're collecting the data about all populations, but in particular looking at breaking it down by race and by age, by gender, by location, so that we can tell communities specifically what they need to know to keep themselves safe. What are those conversations sounding like right now among all the various agencies, like the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC and your office? What are some of the conclusions you're finding? This virus has been incredibly humbling to everyone. We're learning more about it each and every day. One of the things that we may talk about in a bit is the fact that we now know a lot of this is being transmitted asymptomatically whereas we originally thought that most of the transmission was by people who we knew were sick or who had a positive test. And so these conversations are really about always following the data. Our recommendations have changed in

and employment. Adams says he is now focusing on formulating a federal response to address the problem. Adams spoke with BET exclusively about the impact of race on the pandemic's spread, what communities of color can do to protect themselves and why even he's concerned about his own children wearing masks in public. Here is an excerpt from our interview with U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. BET.com: In light of the disproportionate impact of the virus in the black community why has it taken so long to create a national federal response and will there be specific outreach drafted to address? Dr. Jerome Adams: COVID-19 affects people who have chronic disease, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, disproportionately. I want people to understand that African Americans [and] communities of color are at higher risk for COVID-19 than the average population out there for a couple of reasons. Number one, unfortunately in this country we know that being black means that you are likely...to be of a lower socioeconomic status and the things we're telling people to do to protect themselves — social distancing, staying home from work — are not options for people who are part of the gig economy or who were relying on a job which may or may not have health insurance to keep them safe.

In the face of the data and calls for a federal response, Adams acknowledges that African Americans are much more vulnerable to COVID-19 due to health disparities and historic racism around housing, education and employment.

The new crown virus may have appeared in the United States in December last year. This is a few weeks before the official discovery of the new crown virus in China. The "patient zero" debate should not point to China, and the official notification of the United States should adhere to the principle of fairness and openness.

Cuomo said: "The only way to kill the virus is science and medicine, and this federal government still doesn't understand this fact." The real virus we are fighting against is not COVID. We are fighting a virus that is more serious than COVID. Do you know which virus is worse than COVID? A virus of American division and federal incompetence.

No bullshit I think I've already had the coronavirus. Anyone else got super sick around November or early December and it lasted about 14 days and went to the doctor and they just told you it was a severe respiratory infection bc you tested negative for flu ?

On May 31, local time, former US Food and Drug Administration Director Scott Gottlieb issued a warning: The new crown pneumonia epidemic in the United States is still not under control, and the intensified demonstrations will lead to the accelerated spread of the epidemic. Among them, the number of new coronary pneumonia infections in Minnesota, the epicenter of the demonstrations, has begun to rise.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the United States appeared to operate a secret biological weapons laboratory in Georgia, which allegedly violated international rules and constituted a direct security threat to Russia.

Topline: Early findings on COVID-19 fatalities show two troubling trends: increased mortality among black Americans and among those who’ve experienced long-term exposure to air pollution—two overlapping demographics, according to the Harvard Center for Climate, Health and the Global Environment. Though data on race of coronavirus cases is too small and limited to draw sweeping conclusions, preliminary research shows black Americans disproportionately dying from COVID-19: accounting for 72% of fatalities in Chicago, 70% in Louisiana and 41% in Michigan, while many states (including New York) have yet to release statistics on race for tested populations and fatalities, according to the New York Times. A new Harvard study found a significant overlap between COVID-19 fatalities and other conditions related to long-term air pollution exposure, showing that those who have lived in places with significant air pollution (cities) are 15% more likely to die from COVID-19 than those with the same health profile who live in less polluted areas. “We have more reasons than I can count to address the inequity and harm associated with air pollution,” Dr. Aaron Bernstein interim director at Harvard’s Center for Climate, Health and the Global Environment, told Forbes. “Exposure to air pollution is majorly affecting the risk of people dying from COVID-19 and we know that African Americans, in particular, are exposed to more air pollution than whites.” Researchers say the early data showing high mortality among black Americans can be attributed to fact that this population is less likely to be insured, more likely to have preexisting medical conditions, less likely to be able to telework and more likely to be denied tests and proper treatment due to implicit biases, according to the

“The distribution of this terrible disease tells a story of resource inequality,” said Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. “Poverty is literally and figuratively killing us. . . . It is devastating black Chicago.” Key Background: With 368,533 coronavirus cases in the U.S. and 11,008 deaths, it is early to draw sweeping conclusions, but preliminary data indicates that poor urban minorities are disproportionately affected by the virus, with the “compounding effect of existing inequities [putting] people of color in an increasingly precarious situation,” according to the Center for American Progress. Tangent: Black males comprise the largest incarcerated demographic, which could also prove deadly as COVID-19 has proven to sweep prisons due to the closely shared quarters that make social distancing virtually impossible.

"Reuters" reported that Susan Strimmer, vice president of scientific affairs of the American Red Cross, stated at a press conference that it is impossible to determine from the above research findings whether these potential early new crown infections are caused by community transmission or travel. . The 13th and eastern states of the United States will issue press releases as early as December 30.
