Good morning.

These are the sounds of protest.

For the past 10 days, people across the country have been demanding justice for the police killing of George Floyd.

And all of this, in the midst of a pandemic,

hundreds of thousands of people shoulder to shoulder marching through the streets to fight a different, but no less serious public health issue.

The intersection between race and health has been Dr. Camara Jones' life's work.

She's an epidemiologist and also past president of the American Public Health Association.

So I turned to her to learn more about how these two are connected.

I will tell you now, she is hopeful that this system can be fixed.

I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent.

And this is coronavirus, fact, versus fiction.

You know, the news cycle is fast and, you know, we...

Everything feels like it has to be in these sound bites, but I just want to dialogue with you a little bit.

And maybe just start off by asking you...

Just how are you doing mentally, emotionally?

Right. Well, I have a slow, seething rage.

And I'm wondering what in my toolbox, which tools that are in my personal toolbox, I should be taking out to use in this moment.

I'm using some of them, but I think I need to use maybe one or two more.

We're really at a huge crossroad.

And so everybody recognizes, okay, this is the time for me to bring my energy into this and hopefully push us in the right direction.

This is your life's work.

And we're going to talk about this inflection point between the pandemic and the protests just from a health standpoint.
