African American Deaths
Listen
An alarming reality is beginning to emerge from data collected by the CDC as COVID-19 infiltrates communities across America. African Americans are becoming infected and dying from COVID-19 at rates that shadow those of the rest of the population. A Washington Post analysis of data shows a rate of infection among African Americans in counties that are majority black that is 3x higher than counties that are majority white and a death rate that is 6x higher. Robert Ferguson discusses what the African American community can do to improve their health now and in the long run. For more than 20 years he’s helped thousands lose weight and improve overall health with the Diet Free Life methodology. Ferguson works closely with Fortune 500 companies as well as celebrities including Chaka Khan, Toni Braxton and Ricki Lake.
