Native America Calling: The year of living with the pandemic
Tuesday, February 9, 2021
It’s been a year since the first case of COVID-19 arrived in the United States.
The first weeks were marked with uncertainty and fear as public health experts and policy makers could only guess what the full effect would be. Now we know Native nations have been disproportionately affected, both by the human toll and economic losses.
The Indian Health Service alone reports nearly 180,000 positive coronavirus tests and that’s likely a fraction of the total number of Native COVID-19 cases.
Native America Calling will hear about what lessons have been learned in the past year and get updates from communities continuing to cope with the ongoing pandemic.Indian Health Service #Coronavirus data shows 181,023 #COVID19 cases on February 6, 2021.
