The New York City Board of Health this week declared racism a public health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s disproportionate effect on Black, Asian, and Hispanic Americans, the New York Post reports.

The board, whose members are mostly appointed by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, approved the resolution on Monday. It tasks the city Health Department with finding a way to root-out racism within the department’s policies and research, and with ensuring “a racially just recovery from COVID-19, as well as other actions to address this public health crisis in the short and long term.”

Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi said, “to build a healthier New York City, we must confront racism as a public health crisis,” adding, “the COVID-19 pandemic magnified inequities, leading to suffering disproportionately borne by communities of color in our City and across our nation. But these inequities are not inevitable. Today is an historic day for the country’s oldest Board of Health to officially recognize this crisis and demand action.”

  1. A “reasonable” extension of Eviction moratorium being regulated by the CDC.

    The Left has been using these labeling tricks for years.

    it is effective. After all the HEALTH DEPT said so. you average Joe doesn’t realized he is being bamboozled until a few years later.

    By then they are on for the next one.

    The people deserve the government that they chose.

  2. The New Canaan Branch of Metro North Railroad is a public health crisis.
    Riders are disproportionately white. That’s racist. So…

  3. Muggings, armed robberies, carjackings, gang shootings, and random unprovoked attacks in de Blasio’s NYC are also public health crises. Those, however, are disproportionately being committed BY the blacks and the Latinos.
    Aside from having taken major steps in the wrong direction, such as bail reform and the turnstile criminal justice approach, what are the city officials actually doing to correct the problem?

  4. Are they going to cover for the most affected religious bias too? Based on the fbi reports, Anti religious hate crime, “60.2 percent were victims of crimes motivated by offenders’ anti-Jewish bias”. We are the most prosecuted religion. And who is the biggest perpetrator of these crimes? BLACKS! I have yet to see where jews are even on the report as ones perpetrating any crime. Their numbers are soo low that the bullies have to work pretty hard to put them on the list. (I’m referring to all our safe hating brethren, claiming in the name of moral and civic duty to work overtime on getting us on any report).
