When Deborah Gatewood suspected she had Covid-19, she went to the emergency room at Beaumont Hospital she went there four times, each time being told "go home and rest". Then she died.

Why did she go to that hospital each time? Perhaps she assumed that, as an employee of that hospital, she would get careful treatment.

Was she given substandard treatment? We can't tell for certain from the information available. There was a shortage of testing capacity, especially in March. Perhaps there were so many patients that others who appeared to be sicker used up the testing capacity. Or perhaps not.

Was she the victim of racism? We can't prove that from the information available, but I wouldn't be surprised. One of the ways racism frequently manifests itself is as bias in making a judgment call.
