The COVID-19 virus is killing black residents in Cook County at disproportionately high rates, according to early data analyzed by WBEZ.

While black residents make up only 23% of the population in the county, they account for 58% of the COVID-19 deaths. And half of the deceased lived in Chicago, according to data from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

As of Saturday, 107 of Cook County’s 183 deaths from COVID-19 were black. In Chicago, 61 of the 86 recorded deaths – or 70% – were black residents. Blacks make up 29% of Chicago’s population.



Prepare yourselves for the endless amount of MSM articles after this passes about how it is proof of systematic racism, etc.

I think the most surprising thing here is that Cook County is only 29% AA.

Somehow they will use this to justify more lavish section 8 housing.

Wonder if some of them are from the video someone posted yesterday showing people dancing in the streets as to their way of thinking on how they feel about the virus.

There was an article on our news station facebook page recently showing 5 neighborhoods not complying with social distancing and self quarantine. All 5 were black neighborhoods.

It's what gives the south such poor health statistics.
