Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

Did you know about the test before the test? It's the first step in the COVID-19 screening process that determines if you'll get the swab test--and it's linked to one of the reasons that African-Americans are disproportionately affected by coronavirus. Dr. Leon McDougle is the President Elect of the National Medical Association and he is on with Mark today to offer insight into the screening and testing process, how implicit racism could be a driving force, and why we're still missing crucial data. He also shares the details of the COVID-19 Health Manifesto collaboration with the National Medical Association and Rainbow PUSH.
