Pitch: Oklahoma’s Covid cases disproportionally affect the minorities. American Indian/Alaskan Natives have the highest rate of cases and deaths according to the CTP data. Since Oklahoma is predominantly white as well, it would be interesting to see why minorities are the ones facing the brunt of this pandemic. What are the reasons that differentiate these groups? Is it income? healthcare benefits? community gatherings?
