COVID vs the USA

From NYC to Florida, who is suffering from coronavirus and why?

COVID is running rings around the wealthiest nation in the world. To witness the impact of COVID on the disadvantaged and to hear American's views on what's causing the chaos, RTD correspondent Konstantin Rozhkov travels to New York City and Florida, two virus hotspots.
He takes a walk in some of NYC's most dangerous districts and checks out the mask-less beaches of the Sunshine State. In the process, Konstantin hears from a homeless heroin addict who doesn't care, a COVID survivor who got a $400,000 hospital bill, and nurses who say the healthcare system isn't about health, and a funeral parlour director who's never had it so good.
