Recognizing Health Disparities

The reason minorities are at a higher risk of getting Covid-19 because it is believed that the disease can abate from another disease. The first symptoms can be similar to other ailments and doctors may overlook illnesses. Covid-19 has shown many disparities within the health system specifically for minorities. It is believed one of the reasons could be that they are being misdiagnosed by their health professionals. It is also believed that they are misinformed about the dangers of other symptoms that can increase their chances of getting the disease. High blood pressure, mental illness, or diabetes, etc. can incrementally increase one's chances of getting the disease as a pre-existing condition. There are ways that citizens can protect themselves and prevent further damage to the brain. It has been found that Covid-19 can linger in the brain causing other ailments if not treated in time. The government must understand that they cannot only treat the disease. They must also manage the vaccine effectiveness otherwise their healthcare will be overrun by the damage that Covid-19 has done to their citizens.

Minorities don't only have a distrust of officers but also health professionals. Minorities are less likely to call the ambulance than their white counterpart. It has been found that minorities, black and brown people have resisted health professionals because of the rampage from history. We found health professionals in the past have ignored the signs and symptoms causing problematic health effects. This has resulted in thousands dying from health disparities and can amount up to millions. Even with newborn mothers, pro-choice abortion has a lesser effect over natural abortion stemming from racism. Black and brown mothers have been oppressed by a lack of necessary medicines and remedies to prevent unhealthy births or natural abortions. And society is at fault too for placing white mothers over black and brown mothers, besides, there has been an issue in governance that affects why black and brown people are skeptical of healthcare. The government has practiced policies aimed at keeping their families apart and this is a direct result of slavery and segregation. They're influenced by policies to break up black and brown families. Public assistance used to have the mandate to make sure black and brown mothers do not have a life partner on their own otherwise law enforcement officials will break into their homes in the middle of the night and separate the families. Then, we have to look at classism, poor people have always been oppressed and those with less have been seen as lazy and their fault. Black and brown families have been noted as victims of poverty even though they are not the only ones.

The government must suggest and provide the means. It cannot help its citizens with just advising because of the "ism" that keeps them from attaining good health. All citizens need this type of healthcare. If you don't teach someone about good health then they will never know. That is, you have to do more than just teach them, you have to be active in their knowledge by showing and giving them the means to do right and justly by their health. If citizens are to live long and prosperous then they must learn how to maintain their diet, most centenarians have done this. Health professionals need official federal guidance on what is the best lifestyle and diet for their patient per their disease for all people to break down health disparity providing simple application of medical knowledge. We cannot only break the "ism" but also we can defeat genetic health disparities within our families. Children are dying because of a lack of knowledge about their health, this should inform and make a demand from parents toward their government to intervene and provide justice.
