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.


I have been encouraged at the number of blacks where I live who are wearing the mask, but many still don't have a clue how to social distance.

Milwaukee is having similar results.

Besides trying to play it as a race role,Milwaukee Newspaper pretty much summed it down to obesity and people in the community being in shite shape.

Its racist that African Americans tend to be unhealthier than other races.

Well there are 2 factors that have nothing to do with skin color.


1. Population density- black people typically live in urban areas and thus are far more likely to be in proximity of infected persons


2. Obesity and diabetes. Health habits which normally can be maintained are not good traits to have with this disease.

Meanwhile the whole state is "safer at home" because of obese blacks in Milwaukee.

My county has fewer cases than you have fingers on your hand.

Degree of smoking in the population also likely a factor.

It's interesting. This virus is also sexist. It kills men far more often than women.

I saw an article in the MSM that said of the two genders, men were far more likely to die.

So to draw conclusions, the article stated there were two genders. I was very confused by this because I thought there were an infinite number of them.

They also said male, which they made sounds like an absolute one or the other, and there was no mention of identify as, only is. Which also confused me, because I thought we got to choose our genders...

Finally, this said that men were more likely to die and didn't say anything about it being sexist.

So if I identify as a female, but lesbian, I guess my mortality drops? No mention...

This is odd, just last week tweeter told me that the reason the gov’t is taking so much action is because the virus is killing mostly white people and not the demographic they intended.

Not surrpised by the Milwaukee data at all. Majority of the blue are poor areas with a lot of unhealthy residents. A lot of smoking and beer drinking and factory type of workers living there.

When you get to West Allis and west the cases drop off. Why? More money, higher income. Better health.

When you go north at the Whitefish Bay are and even further north you get to the higher income towns. Few cases for a reason.

Same thing as you go south towards Cudahy.

Pretty sure obesity and HBP is very prevalent in the American black population


In addition to diabetes and less overall concern with healthy basics such as hand washing; but you know the media will spin it that we need to do more for minorities, in particular, blacks...

This started last week actually. Blacks in New Orleans and New York are also making up huge % of the deaths.

It's easily explainable.

Blacks in urban areas often live packed into the highest population density areas.

Blacks are significantly more likely than other racial groups in the US to both smoke and have diabetes.

They'll spin it as somehow being a referendum on blacks being denied quality healthcare, when in fact the socioeconomic factors I listed above are the sole cause.

It would probably be closer to 50% if they did not abort and murder such a large number.

Lead poisoning is probably the leading cause of death among that group.

A lot of AA laborers work low wage jobs. Those jobs unfortunately are among the necessary and entail lots of human to human contact.
