The outbreak of the virus in Georgia has also disproportionately affected the state's black residents. A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published on Wednesday found that 83% of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Georgia in March were black, despite making up only 32% of the state's population.

Is this really important at this time of the day? Honestly

Are healthy, black, urban black people at the same risk of hospitalization as healthy white urban people?
My guess is yes.
It's health choices and living in dense areas (increasing infection rate).

More like Covid 34-19.

Could be genetics, could be lifestyle, could be living in more cramped conditions with multiple generations. Little bit of column a, b, and c I think.

You think that's bad? Try Washington DC.

What’s the big deal? Seems easier than their bullshite words ending in O or A based on gender. I can never get that shite right and they get pissed.

They’re probably counting the usual gang violence as covid

As with many statistics in that demographic, common sense does not apply

Is that because of the prison numbers?

No, it is because of the obesity, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension numbers.

Race and ethnicity (2014)
Map of race and ethnicity in the District of Columbia
Black 49.0%
White
(includes White Hispanics) 43.6%
Asian 3.0%
Other 1.4%
Hispanic or Latino
(of any race)
And more than likely the white population works in government so of course they would have a safer lifestyle

After watching the NFL draft and seeing the house parties filled with big moma's, Aunts, and who ever else I can see why Blacks are getting it at a much higher rate. 1) They are not taking this seriously, 2) Most of the women are clinically obese.

and I'm supposed to care why? what's the mortality rate again? somewhere around 1 out of every 2500 people who catch it...and decreasing daily?

I was going to just pay my housekeeper for a couple weeks but not ask her to come over, thought she might want to quarantine, at least give her the option.
She said not to worry, "It doesn't seem to go after 'my people.'"

One would think. But I'm quite sure the virus is just racist.
