And on what planet should Orleans Parish be compared to Albany County in upstate NY?
I think he's talking about Albany, Ga. They've had a large outbreak tied to a majority African-American church there.

Some of the podnahs across da bayou from my parents’ house have had no fewer than a dozen cars at their house daily the last few weeks. Just a constant stream of crawfish boils and cookouts. I know at least one member of the family had symptoms and someone he worked with tested positive,, but he was denied a test because he was too young, so he was told to quarantine. However, everyone is at the house partying and cooking every day.

Not sure it has anything to do with race. Probably more to do with people living in urban areas in close proximity to each other, taking public transit, etc. Obesity and other health issues contribute to the mortality.
Black men like to gather in large groups more than other cultures. Drive in the white part of town ( even the poor white part) and see how many groups of guys are hanging around each other.
Do the same in the black part of town and you will notice a lot more

While that is sobering, it would be a more relevant piece of information if qualified by location, correct?
i.e., Michigan is 14% AA, yet 41% of victims of Corona are AA.
But, what % of those are from Detroit, which, like NOLA, has a much % of AA residents?

Most people I've seen really sick are markedly obese

correct
I actually don't know if the victims there are black, but I assume so. They've had like 35 deaths in a 90,000 person county.

Well growing up in the hood I can kinda see it, the hood kinda rolls around on each other all night every night 24/7. It’s why the hood has such a high HIV rate. Any idea of “social distancing” is impossible with these people. I’m not calling out a race but yes most of the hood is a certain race. Like it or not is their CULTURE.

Yeah, the very ones that elected John Bel Edwards and Latoya Cantrell.

Yep, let just one of them catch COVID, and see how quickly it spreads through that trailer park environment.
As a person who grew up in a "mobile home subdivision," I can tell you without a doubt that people in Trailer Parks could teach social distancing. They are usually angry and sullen social outcasts who do not always enjoy the company of others.
( Luckily, I left the old hood a long time ago)

Africa actually has a very low infection and death rate.
