'A recipe for disaster'
Experts said one of the most vulnerable groups is Native Americans.Kevin Allis, CEO of the National Congress of American Indians, said more people were testing positive for the coronavirus in Native American lands.

“There's no surprise when you see these health disparities that are off the charts, then when you get something like COVID-19 that rolls into these neighborhoods, these reservation communities, it can be really bad,’’ said Allis, a tribal member of the Forest County Potawatomi community in Wisconsin.
