Description

The Sup podcast is back! Sami and Amanda start by debriefing a holiday weekend characterized more by grief and anger as we collectively realize the American ideal is a scam. Then they dive into new statistics highlighting the racial disparities in COVID-19 infections, which found that Black and Latino Americans are three times more likely to get sick, and twice as likely to die from the disease. They also explore what the focus on co-morbidities erases from the broader conversation about who gets infected and why. Finally, they cover Trump’s batty Mount Rushmore rally and the news that ICE will revoke visas for international students who cannot attend in-person classes in the fall.
