I thank Congresswoman Alma Adams for that very clear statement and I thank her for outlining the interconnection and the intersection between systemic racism and the social determinants of healthcare and how they impact the underlying conditions and exacerbate it now as seen in COVID-19. I thank Congresswoman Adams again for her leadership. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Scanlon), who certainly knows the serious and devastating impact of this COVID pandemic in her district. I visited her district and understand how close she is to her nonprofits and her community-based organizations who are doing phenomenal work. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congresswoman Scanlon very much for being here.
