— Democratic lawmakers are calling out an apparent lack of racial data that they say is needed to monitor and address disparities in the national response to the coronavirus outbreak. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Ayanna Pressley say in a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar dated Friday that comprehensive demographic data on people who are tested or treated for the coronavirus does not exist. Cities with large black and nonwhite Hispanic populations have emerged as new hot spots for the virus. California Sen. Kamala Harris, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Illinois Rep. Robin Kelly  also signed the letter.
