COVID-19 impact on communities of color

Schumer also weighed in on the terrible toll the coronavirus is taking on communities of color. In New York, African Americans are twice as likely to die of the virus.

"The reason is very simple. Communities of color, minority communities and poor communities don't have adequate health care and haven't for a very long time," Schumer told The View's Whoopi Goldberg.

Schumer advocated for more testing, particularly within minority communities.

"Let me say one thing about testing. This has been one of the greatest failures of this administration, and I hope they learn from it," Schumer said.

Schumer said he has asked the Trump administration to provide detailed data on minority-owned business's access to emergency lending funds. In the first round of Paycheck Protection Program, many of the smallest businesses and minority-owned businesses had a difficult time receiving approval for loans.
