The Surgenon General of the United States explains why Covid 19 is affecting minority communities more than others.
At the President's direction Surgeon general and Vice President Pence are talking to minority groups and leaders on why Covid-19 is affecting minority groups more and what to do about it.
Demographically, minorities are being hit harder.
Specific minority groups have health issues which make Covid-19 worse for them (watch the video).
(Psst! The Surgeon General carries a inhaler incase he has a really bad asthma attack)
Chronic illness and social ills make this worse for minorities.
Fewer minorities can work from home. 1 out of 5 African americans and 1 out of 6 Hispanics have jobs that allow them work from home.
Population density and multigenerational house is more common for minorities and increases spread.
30% of homes on Navajo nations do not have running water - they can't wash their hands frequenty.
There is no biological predisposition to having Covid-19.
The administration is taking steps to help all high risk groups.

I just read men are more susceptible then women. Will that disparity be addressed?
Bingo.
The real question is, what about the LGBTQXYZ crowd? Where is that study!!
What a SAD commentary on that young man on youtu.be.
I saw that on another thread. Look at the comments from African Americans in the video itself and in the comments for the video. They are disgusted by this it too. Especially people living in Cincinnati since this puts their lives at risk.
Immature, irresponsible minorities getting hit the hardest?
Gee, it’s gotta’ be whitey’s fault.
just the stupidest people...
Urban areas and mass/public transportation? Maybe throw in a number of multi family or friends in over capacity living arrangements?
Politicizing the pandemic is rude and counter-productive.
At first I was thinking because the low income housing in the Big cites had people living in high rise apartments.
Today I read an article about a zip code in Anderson County SC being hit hard, most of the victims were Black. This area does not have high rise apartment towers.
There was another is a black community in Ga.
There are a lot white folks living in property too but they do not appear to effected by it. There is a lot over weight unhealthy poor white folks too. But they are not as social.
I am really thinking the Black population is more Social compare to other races. I remember attending black churches where my Father would give sermons. The black churches are friendly and social as in hand shaking and hugging.
I think it is a more of a social things mix in with some heath issues. I wonder if a lot of the black victims are the social type I remember growing up as a Child. I am not talking the stereotype hood, I am talking the family loving type.
I bet it was not just poor black families but middle class too. That what it appears to be in SC and Ga.
Remember the Italian family that got hit hard, they appear to be real social also.
Feral and stupid, and the magical F word that just answers everything when it come to being a society and working together. Sorry no sympathy of stupid!
Are they demanding reverse virus reparation yet?
In order to make things fair we we need to intentionally contaminate more people absent color?
