the coronavirus pandemic New York neighborhoods f eel left behind Three heavily immigrant e nclaves in Queens have some of the city’s highest virus positivity rates yet have been overlooked for testing and vaccination

BY LIZ ROBBINS AND FRANCES STEAD SELLERS new york — Chandra Singh wanted a coronavirus vaccina- tion. A native of Guyana, the 71- year-old doesn’t own a computer, with which she might access information online. So when she saw a crowd of elected officials and community leaders gathered on a corner for a news confer- ence, she asked them where she could get the shot. They couldn’t answer but di- rected her to a nearby library, where she settled for getting a free coronavirus test. It wasn’t a vaccine, but the test gave her some peace of mind because her Queens neighborhood, South Richmond Hill, had soared to the highest coronavirus infection rate in the city. “The area is badly disorga- nized — they never inform you of anything,” said Singh, who has lived here for 33 years. New York City health officials released data on Jan. 31 that revealed vast racial disparities in vaccine distribution. Among those whose race was recorded, nearly half of city residents who have received a coronavirus vac- cine are White. Fifteen percent of those vaccinated are Latino, 15 percent are Asian and 9 per- cent are Black. The experience in New York is reflected across the nation, where communities of color, which have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic, have fall- en behind first in testing and now in vaccinations. “We cannot make the same approach that we made in re- PHOTOS BY EMILY JAYNE ALEXANDER FOR THE WASHINGTON POST sponding to the pandemic, where we assumed the risk was the same for everybody,” said James Hildreth, an infectious- disease expert and president of Meharry Medical College. “With the vaccine, if the goal is to save as many lives as possible, we’ve got to be focused on the most vulnerable populations.” A Feb. 1 report from the Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention shows that of those whose race was known among the 13 million Americans vacci- nated in the first month of the drive, Black people accounted for little more than 5 percent. Six percent were Asian and 11.5 per- cent Latino.

IMPEACHMENT TRIAL

DEMETRIUS FREEMAN/THE WASHINGTON POST The second Senate impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump seeks to hold him accountable for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — but fast-tracked proceedings are unlikely to alter partisan views.

Since President Biden took office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or Bibi as he is known here, has been waiting for the traditional cour- tesy call from the Oval Office. After all, both Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama reached the prime minister with- in days of taking their oaths of office. But three weeks into his term, as Biden has worked deep into his Rolodex of world leaders without dialing Netanyahu’s Bal- four Street office, much of Israel’s political class is ready to declare it a full-blown diplomatic snub. In the president’s “thundering silence,” some see a long-feared frosty tumble from the warm embrace Netanyahu enjoyed with Trump. “Biden and his aides aim to tell Netanyahu, ‘You’re nothing spe- cial,’ ” security analyst Yossi Mel- man wrote in the daily Haaretz. “ ‘The personal connection and TSAFRIR ABAYOV/ASSOCIATED PRESS chemistry you had with Donald An employee watches a wall of televisions a t an electronics store in Ashkelon, Israel, broadcasting President Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

Cir- cuit, asking for a delay in proceed- ings involving the TikTok ban. President Donald Trump tried to prohibit both apps last fall, call- ing them national security threats because they collected “vast swaths” of data on Americans and offered the Chinese Communist Party avenues for censoring or dis- torting information. A federal magistrate in San Francisco temporarily halted Trump’s proposed WeChat ban in September over First Amendment concerns. A federal court in Wash- ington later issued a preliminary injunction blocking the TikTok ban. The Trump administration appealed both of those rulings.

‘Naaaancy’: A ‘Shining’ moment in U.S. history

As rioters made their way through the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, some went looking for House Monica Speaker Nancy Pelosi. New Hesse footage of this was released at Wednesday’s session of the impeachment trial. The mob roamed hallways, searching for her office, and as they did, they called for her. “Oh, Nancy,” one man cried out, three syllables ricocheting off the walls. “Oh, Naaaaaaancy.” If you cannot stomach reading an entire column about three syllables, you should stop here. Oh, Naaaaaaancy is a very specific scene from a horror movie. Oh, Nancy is what the protagonist hears when she is hiding in a parking garage, or in a stairwell, or crouched under her desk, or pressed flat on the ground in a damp cornfield. Her terror is played out for entertainment, whether that means a narrow escape or a bloody death. Oh, Naaaaaaancy is said in a singsongy voice. It is the same voice that a child would use to say, Come out, come out, wherever you arrrrre in a backyard game of hide-and-seek SEE HESSE ON C2

Entire lineup is available at practice as trip to Pittsburgh approaches

BY SAMANTHA PELL

For the first time in three weeks, the Washington Capitals had their entire season-opening lineup on the ice for practice Thursday. With the team mired in a three-game losing streak, a return to health couldn’t have come at a better time. Also working in the Capitals’ favor has been an unexpected week off — the result of three games postponed because of cor- onavirus issues — after less than a month of play. The result is a chance for an early reset with a trip to Pittsburgh looming Sun- day. “It feels like we’ve been play- ing the season for a long time, but I know we’re still pretty early in the year,” forward T.J. Oshie said. The practice marked the first INA FASSBENDER/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES time the Capitals had a full roster available since Jan. 19, when the Capitals played the Penguins at PPG Paints Arena.
