THAT’S WHAT THE HEALTH COMMISSIONER TELLS US. WE ARE NOW LIVE WITH THE STORY. >> THAT’S RIGHT. THE HEALTH COMMISSIONER SAID A LARGE NUMBER OF THOSE CASES ARE ON MILWAUKEE’S NORTHWEST SIDE, IN PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOODS. TONIGHT, CITY LEADERS HOPE A NEW OUTREACH PROGRAM COULD HELP SLOW THOSE NUMBER >> IT STARTED WITH ME WITH BODY ACHES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET WARM. >> STATE REPRESENTATIVE DAVID BOWEN KNOWS WHAT THE CORONAVIRUS FEELS LIKE. >> MY FEVER WENT UP TO 103 DEGREES. YOUR BODY IS SUPERHOT, BUT YOU FELT COLD. >> HE TESTED POSITIVE THIS WEEKEND AND IS NOW IN QUARANTINE. BUT OVER VIDEO CHAT, HE AND OTHER CIVIC LEADERS POINT TO A TROUBLING TREND IN MILWAUKEE. >> OVER HALF OF THE CASES ARE IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, AND WHY IS THAT? IS THAT DUE TO COMORBIDITIES? IS THAT DUE TO SOME OTHER FACTOR SUCH AS FAR AS WHERE PEOPLE CONGREGATED OR SOME EVENT? SO WE’RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. >> HEALTH COMMISSIONER DR. JEANETTE KOWALIK SAYS THE VIRUS IS ALSO DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTING AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN. SO FAR AT LEAST THREE HAVE DIED IN MILWAUKEE COUNTY. AND THAT’S WHY THE CITY IS STEPPING UP OUTREACH EFFORTS AND COORDINATING WITH FAITH LEADERS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS HOW DANGEROUS CORONAVIRUS CAN BE. >> ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF COURSE, IS THAT CHURCHES WIL OUR FAITH LEADERS STILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REACH OUT THEIR CONGREGATION >> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS VIRUS, THAT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HIT HOME FOR FOLKS TO HEED TO THESE CALLS. JOYCE: BEN, A LOT OF THOSE CASES ARE IN ALDERMAN KHALIF RAINEY’S DISTRICT HAS HE SAID ANYTHING? >> HE HAS HE’S CALL
