Minority communities are being hit much harder.Dr. Robert J. Blendon is the Richard L. Menschel Professor Emeritus of Public Health and Professor of Health Policy and Political Analysis at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He's also the co-director of a survey by NPR, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that looked at how coronavirus is affecting people financially.
