MIKAELA MACKENZIE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Dr. Anthony Battad, who is speaking out about the inequality of the pandemic, poses for a portrait in front of his home in Winnipeg on Friday, May 28, 2021. Battad is a Filipino internal medicine physician who has been working in COVID wards off and on during the pandemic, and he's also involved in outreach efforts through the Chamber of Commerce to engage the Filipino and South Asian communities (on vaccines and public-health messages). He says most of the people he sees admitted to hospital now are lower income folks who have not been able to work from home. For Katie May story. Winnipeg Free Press 2020.
