Abstract
Coronavirus has struck the entire world, and its effects are tragic for all. At the same time, coronavirus outbreaks in the United States for Blacks are more widespread. Tens of thousands of African Americans have lost lives, while uncertainty is abundant throughout the pandemic. The number of casualties from this crisis continues to rise for African Americans and is disproportionate in comparison to other ethnic and racial groups. There is a historical and contemporary epoch for African Americans linked to the existing state of coronavirus in this population. Critical race theory is utilized in the narrative and shows how the injustice of racism transformed the disparate health experiences in African Americans' coronavirus cases. Racism should be examined as a basic serious account for determinants of health that necessitate multiple manifestations of disparities. Social workers' responses to intertwined racism and health are indicated regarding the phenomena of coronavirus on this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
