Reflection #7

For today’s reflection, I will be talking about how people have struggled economically

looking for jobs to pay rent, bills, and to maintain their sons with food, etc. During the pandemic

of COVID-19, the people who have been affected the most are the ones who have less education,

I found on the internet that black Americans were hospitalized at higher rates than whites for

COVID-19. In New York City, more Hispanics per capita are succumbing to the illness than any

other ethnic group. That means that there is something in the Hispanic community that we are

not doing good. The number of people infected started to decrease in the United States because

of social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders, most barbershops, churches, and

community centers are closed and keep Hispanic and other people from not being in contact.

Although this terrible situation has lasted many weeks Latinos across the U.S. are still prepared

for their battle against the coronavirus, this crisis that threatens to leave many in this already

vulnerable population sick and destitute. Low-paying to Latinos are making them not pay rent,

and those who don’t have a job are just stressed thinking what to do to get bills paid, which is

very sad. For example, I lose my home and my job because of COVID-19. It's hard to be in

situations like this but we all will get better by following the rules that the government is telling

us, doing social distancing, using face masks, washing hands for at least twenty minutes, etc.
Also, I hope everyone, not just the Latino community, gets better, this will last in history and we

have to thank the doctors and scientists who are trying their best to help every community.
