Are these deaths WITH Covid or FROM Covid?

Looks like it’s hitting white women the hardest.

I thought white people couldn’t get it. That’s why they don’t care about masks and stuff.

I’d be willing to bet these are deaths WITH covid.

Just the fact that more women died then men doesn’t jive with what we know, so most of these could be WITH covid. That’s what I assume unless told otherwise.

Calcasieu is 68% white and 25% black

Yet blacks make up 36% of the deaths and whites are 61%

If that was the main cause of death then it is what it is.

Black people also have held a few protest right when the "2nd wave" was flaring up.

Doubtful. Very few people reach 75 and not have underlying health issues.

You mean the two deaths? 50% does sound scarier so use that!
