The Times stated:
"The coronavirus recession has exacerbated the racial and income divides in America. Lifting restrictions too soon will make them worse and leave workers with a bleak choice.”Huh? They claim locking people out of their jobs exacerbates inequality but then claims allowing workers to go back to their jobs will make inequality worse.
The Times continued:
"In 2018, the typical Hispanic household earned three-quarters of what a typical white household earned, according to census data. The typical black household earned three-fifths of what the typical white household earned, and their household income had yet to return to pre-financial-crisis highs."
“The virus has only exacerbated that inequality, with minorities suffering both higher death rates and more financial harm,”
