Surgeon General on the coronavirus' disproportionate impact on minority communities

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams discusses why minority communities are at higher risk of dying from COVID-19. Talking with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King, Adams explains how preconditions, social determinants and economic situations are making African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans more vulnerable to the coronavirus; and how the administration plans to address the disparity. Dr. Adams tells King how efforts to flatten the curve in hotspots are showing promise and how staying home can be an opportunity for us to be healthier.
