‘We don’t get help from anywhere’: Covid exposes inequality in crisis-hit New York neighborhood Amanda Holpuch in New York
A year after New York City became the center of the global Covid-19 outbreak, the neighborhood considered at the time to be the “epicenter of the epicenter” of the pandemic remains in crisis – laying bare many of the economic fault lines exposed by the coronavirus.
Corona, Queens, a welcoming enclave for many of the city’s undocumented immigrants and home to many of the “essential” workers who kept New York running during the pandemic’s worst days, has had the highest number of infections and deaths in the city – and now has one of the lowest percentages of people vaccinated.
For 20 years, Raymond Diaz worked in a dry cleaning store in New York, regularly clocking 60 hours every week. But once the pandemic hit, the company had to close down. Business dried up, and soon the store let him go. As the economic downturn deepened, Diaz turned to New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE), an immigrant advocacy group, for help maybe they could help him get his job back. Instead, he was told that, for the past two decades, he should have been getting paid overtime. For Diaz, it was one more blow in an already difficult moment. “I worked there for a long time,” he said. “I wanted to go back.” Instead, he had to grapple with the fact that a boss he trusted had deceived him for years. Worse, he’d probably get away with it: with rent and unpaid bills piling up, Diaz had little interest in pursuing costly legal action, which would be expensive and risky.
