MA DPH has released race/ethnicity data on #Covid19 patients. While a step in the right direction, it's inconclusive & unactionable, w/ 67 of cases missing data. Gov. Baker must create guidance to ensure timely and complete data collection, so we can see who is most impacted & take action!
We are GRATEFUL to the local public health workforce on the front lines during the #COVID19 pandemic, working hard to keep communities safe & connecting the public to info/resources. We see you and thank you! www.cityhealth.org/heroes

As the incredible people of public health work tirelessly to stop the spread of the new coronavirus, we know there is no better way to celebrate National Public Health Week this year than to thank these heroes.MA is stumbling in the dark right now. Without good data on who is being impacted by #COVID19, our response will be both ineffective and irresponsible. Evidence is piling up that communities of color are being hit hard, and the Baker Administration needs to take action! For more info, visit mapublichealth.org/press-room/

Utterly wrenching column by @Marcela_Elisa. "Deep crises reveal our societal fault lines, and nowhere is that more clear than in Chelsea. The #coronavirus is spreading rapidly there and revealing a forgotten population that can no longer remain invisible."

More than the coronavirus performing as the 'great equalizer,' it should be hailed as the 'great revealer.'

The choice right now isn’t “block evictions or delay them.” The choice is “block all steps of the eviction process or push people out in the middle of a pandemic.” It’s a choice between life or death. I’m grateful the House made the right choice last week.
