The CDC director has designated racism as a 'serious public health threat' facing Americans

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has designated racism as a "serious public health threat" facing Americans.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the agency's director, noted in a Thursday statement that the coronavirus pandemic had affected communities of color "more severely" in terms of cases, deaths, and social effects, adding that this inequality was not caused by the virus.

"Instead, the pandemic illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America a known, but often unaddressed, epidemic impacting public health: racism," she said.
