Data from the @cdcgov show that the rates of Covid

Data from the @cdcgov show that the rates of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths among Asian Americans are similar to those of whites. Data from the American Public Media Research Lab similarly show that Asian Americans, along with whites, have the lowest Covid-19 death rates in the country.

Undertesting, stigma and a lack of disaggregated data have complicated the depiction of how the #COVID pandemic is affecting #AAPI communities.

Anika Chebrolu, an Indian American 14-year-old from Frisco,TX, has just won the 2020 3M Young Scientist Challenge and a $25,000 prize for a discovery that could provide a potential therapy to Covid-19.

Anika's winning invention uses in-silico methodology to discover a lead molecule that can selectively bind to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Anika, who is Indian American, submitted her project when she was in 8th grade but it wasn't always going to be focused on finding a cure for Covid-19.

Initially, her goal was to use in-silico methods to identify a lead compound that could bind to a protein of the influenza virus.

"After spending so much time researching about pandemics, viruses and drug discovery, it was crazy to think that I was actually living through something like this," Anika said to CNN.

Based on the information provided to them the U.N.

Based on the information provided to them the U.N. stated that, “U.S. authorities have utterly failed to take the steps required to detect, monitor, and prevent racist and xenophobic incidents,” the experts wrote. “One result of this state of impunity is that, many victims of such attacks are reportedly reluctant to seek justice.”

E. Tendayi Achiume — an author of the mandate who serves as special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance — told @nbcasianamerica “I think it's absolutely the case that if you have the head of government speaking about groups in ways that stigmatizes them and associates them with the virus, it creates an environment where violence is more permissible and attacks are more permissible,” she said. "It really does legitimize those kinds of acts."

repost @thatoliviacheng Dear Asian Americans: Your vote counts to ensure that a culture of anti-Asian racism will not be normalized by public officials and the policies they pass. In a span of under 6 months, almost 2,600 of hate crime incidents have been reported since the pandemic including attempted murder, death threats, verbal assaults, and a huge spike in online racism across the United States. We’re calling on all AAPI youth to vote so that we will be able to live without fear for our safety. Vote early if you can and visit the link in bio or headcount.org/goldhouse for more information on voting in your state. #GoodtoVote #GoldVote #AAPI2020 #voteready @goldhouseco
