St. Pete Chamber presents: Coronavirus Impact Insights. 5-27-20

On this episode, Erik Smith, managing member of Inclusivity LLC joins Chris Steinocher, CEO of the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and Joe Hamilton, publisher of the St. Pete Catalyst.

But first, as usual, Steinocher takes listeners through the Florida Chamber Scorecard for Pinellas County. He says the outlook is optimistic, as the percent of positive tests cases hovers at less than 2 percent. The 14-day average of positive cases is beginning to come down to 20, following a weekend high of 22.4.

Smith explains why COVID-19 does not affect everyone in every community the same way. For Pinellas County, African Americans account for 9.9 percent of the population and are 16 percent of COVID cases, 14 percent of hospitalizations and 7 percent of deaths.
