âCovid-19 has shone a bright light on our own societyâs failings,â Fauci said during a graduation ceremony for Emory University in Atlanta.
Speaking to students from Washington, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), who leads the Covid-19 response in the US, said many members of minority groups work in essential jobs where they might be exposed to the coronavirus.
He also said they are more likely to become infected if exposed because of medical conditions such as hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes or obesity.
âNow, very few of these co-morbidities have racial determinants,â Fauci said.

HCA Healthcare and University Health didn t see a way to meaningfully expand their market share in the competitive Atlanta market, leading to a string of recent hospital deals that are poised to benefit Piedmont Healthcare, merger and acquisition experts said.
Piedmont will add seven hospitals to its current 11-hospital footprint via back-to-back transactions, courtesy of HCA and University Health. HCA sold its last Atlanta-area hospital to AdventHealth Thursday.
The profitable Atlanta-area hospitals will increase the not-for-profit health system s negotiating power with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, allow it to grow its service lines and spread its fixed costs over a wider asset base, M&A experts said. Meanwhile, HCA and University Health can exit or partner in markets they were unlikely to lead on their own while receiving a return on their investment, they said.
