It's noteworthy in that its worth studying. He doesn't have to provide conclusions in order to note that it is noteworthy.

He doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do.

I can say that when I read his first statement, I really expected him to be making a point more than he ended up making. I think others agree which is why they asked him to explain.

Never crawfished. It is noteworthy

Maybe you should lookup the definition of noteworthy

Again. How?

because it is both significant and unusual

Further testing can tell you what the significance is

I laid out my personal suspicions.

Seems like a waste of money for something you should already know.

You don’t know WTF you are talking about. I’ll leave you to your faux outrage and let you go on saving the word.

One mindless thought at a time...

Faux outrage? What do you think I am mad about?

the only person in this thread that is seemingly "outraged" is you

and its off something so innocuous that it makes you seem insane

You could do that, but it more than likely will tell you what you already know.

1. The African American population has a disproportionately high percentage of diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, etc.

Diabetes itself is 77% higher in the AA population compared to whites.

More than 40% of African Americans have hypertension.

76% over the age of 20 are at least overweight, and 48% of those are obese.

2. Coronavirus is significantly worse in individuals with comorbidities, such as those listed above.



It is likely that straightforward.

It isn’t a racial thing, because if you look at other countries where the black population does not suffer those maladies are those rates, you don’t see a disproportionate shift in their direction as far as deaths or illness.

Ok. I take back what I said. This is well reasoned and well written. Not to mention, it is very probably correct.
