There are two universal truths to living in America.

One, every holiday is a mattress sale in disguise,

and two, the wealthier you are, the easier it is to access life's necessities.

Race and income really determine your access to resources, and that's no different with COVID.

Studies show more than 30% of black adults don't have broadband internet, leaving many without information online about where and how to get vaccinated.

compared with just 5% in white communities.
