In the middle of a national public health crisis, a national racial crisis also occurred. As doctors and healthcare workers around the world work to save people, protests and large social gatherings seem as though they would be a new nightmare. Instead, numerous healthcare professionals have come out in support of the protests; they highlight that racism, just like coronavirus, is as huge national health issue. It is a discussion that highlights just how important it is to get it right in solving racism and addressing the systemic issues that plague this country.
