The coronavirus outbreak is expected to have the worst impact on the black and Hispanic populations.
Donald Trump has enforced a travel ban and declared COVID-19 a national pandemic, banning gathering of more than 500 people and leading to the cancellations of major events, as more than 3,000 cases of have been confirmed in the US.
With self-quarantining actions in place, low-wage workers in the industries that rely on tips or have zero-hour contracts, are being forced to decide between immediately cutting their income by missing shifts without sick leave, or showing up to work and risking infection.
The travel and leisure and hospitality industries are suffering due to the outbreak,

Sounds like an opportune time for illegals to self-deport. Hurry, before Mexico decides they don't want you back. We might have to rename this the "Safe Streets Virus."

With ocare being essentially free to low incomers...there is no excuse for casual workers to not have coverage

Yup. I believe this result is at the very center of their target goal for the deliberate sabotage of our economy. They have been getting progressively more terrified about the success of Trump's efforts to help blacks and Latinos find jobs. And the stats showing both demographics showing more support for Trump.
This definitely could impact that escape from the Democrat plantation.

Lefty propaganda.....more DM garbage. I have pretty much stopped clicking on anything in DM. And they don't like me and my adblocker, so we will both be pleased about it.

As if the Brits at the Daily Mail care anything about our countries' Blacks and Hispanics.
Trump has done more for both groups than either of the former black Presidents, and they know it.

The particular jobs that a lot of Black and Hispanics hire into have nothing to do with President Trump or his administration. It’s up to individual employees to work out their employment contracts, including their pay and benefits, with their employers.
The Democrats have run most of the areas politically where most Black and Hispanic people live and work for many decades. The question should be to those Democrats is didn’t they, the Democrats, do a better job in representing their Black and Hispanic constituents during all their years in office? The answer to that is that the Democrats wanted to keep their Black and Hispanic constitutents dependent upon the Democrats by keeping them on welfare and other government benefits and services.
Since being elected Trump has tried to change that with a roaring economy that has brought more jobs to Black and Hispanic communities then there are workers looking for work.

I don't understand how they got themselves in this situation. Sleepy Joe recently said, "Poor kids are just as bright as white kids." How is it they haven't done better? Oh that's right, the entire country is racist!

Hold on, Leah. I know you are a Brit, but, a couple of things. Two of my grandkids work at a Chic Fil A in Colorado. Just because they are white doesn't mean they won't be hit either. Minimum wage applies to them, too. Just keep it fair, Ma'am and forget about the identity politics.

Thank goodness. All this time they have been saying old people would suffer the most.
Mostly, I am sick of everybody throwing free stuff at minorities. Why would they ever leave the ghetto and miss out?

So we need to make sure everyone knows that all this unnecessary panic that is hurting the economy is the fault of the Democrats and leftist media who are unnecessarily whipping up a frenzy of panic over a relatively harmless flu.

This crap is spectacularly unhelpful!! And to be blunt, there is nothing standing in the way of minorities lifting themselves out of the menial job market except attitude. It means staying in school, applying one's self to one's studies and majoring in something that doesn't have the word "Studies" in its title, preferably something in the growing and thriving STEM field.
