Hanna Rahman, a student at the Hewitt School in New York City, examines how COVID-19 hit hospitals in the city and what the pandemic shows about the U.S. healthcare system. In her interview with Dr. Graham Barr, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Rahman learns about long-standing, systemic inequities in the city's healthcare system and how certain racial groups from certain areas of the city suffered most from the pandemic. But there's hope to be drawn from the effective impact the lockdown and social distancing measures had on mitigating the pandemic.
