    * People who are immunocompromised are to be prioritized for COVID-19 treatments under state guidelines, regardless of race.

    * CDC data shows that people who are Black and Hispanic are twice as likely

    as a risk factor, among many other risk factors, in distributing treatments
    for the virus.
