Coronavirus death rate remains high on the Navajo Nation
The high death rate continues on the Navajo Nation from the coronavirus, with seven deaths reported in the previous 24 hours. The total number of deaths was 422 as of Sunday. An increasing number of Dine' young people are dying from the virus.
Meanwhile, Dine' volunteers continue to raise their own funds and race with food and water to those in quarantine, and Dine' elderly and families in need.
The majority of the $714 million that the Navajo Nation received in federal CARES Act funds remains delayed in the tribal government's budget process and is not reaching the people.
The Navajo Department of Health shows the increase in deaths of Dine young people. There have been 10 deaths under the age of 30 from coronavirus. There have been another 137 deaths between the ages of 30 and 59. The loss of the Dine' wisdom keepers has been great.
There have been 258 deaths of those 60 and older, as of July 16.
