New York hit with lawsuit over racial prioritization in coronavirus treatment distribution

New York has been sued by America First Legal, which claims the state's coronavirus treatment prioritization is racist and unconstitutional.

"New York’s racist COVID decrees dispense lifesaving medicine based on the race or ethnic background of the patient. New York is deciding questions of life and death based on a New Yorker’s ancestry. This is outrageously illegal, unconstitutional, immoral and tyrannical. And that is why we are suing the state – because right and justice and morality urgently demand it. No citizen should lose his or her life because the government – of the State of New York, or anywhere, or at any level – punished them because of the color of their skin."
