Van Jones, Racism and COVID-19 Comorbidities

CNN commentator Van Jones spoke with Charlamagne tha God about the "epidemic of racism" contributing to high COVID-19 death rates among Black Americans. Jones argued that 400 years of oppression have resulted in poor healthcare access and medical bias, where doctors may not take the pain of Black patients seriously. He also noted that many community members use colloquial terms like "sugar" for diabetes and "pressure" for hypertension, making the medical term "comorbidity" confusing.
