I was hearing this locally but this certainly seems to confirm it. Is that the the cause of the difference in death rate in Louisiana and New York? It’s is just a byproduct of issues like Diabetes, obesity that are more common among Southern AA or something else.

Like almost every disease, cleanliness is the most important factor. Be it hygiene or other health choices.

Because there are dumbasses that aren’t abiding by the social distancing concept. They’re still have BBQs and parties around here...

All bullshite aside. There’s a higher percentage of AAs that live in densely populated areas. I mean, they act like they’re just learning who makes up “inner cities”

Because for weeks it was being passed around on social media black folks could not catch it and dumbasses believe what they read on facebook.

Didn't you read the memo? Social distancing is a white privilege.

COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities.

Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions.

Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.
