CHICAGO — Black coronavirus victims are dying at disproportionately high rates, a problem Gov. JB Pritzker said is due, in part, to “decades, frankly, maybe centuries, of inequality of application of health care to people of color.”
In Chicago, 70 percent of the people who have died from coronavirus are Black, according to a WBEZ analysis. Black people comprise just 29 percent of Chicago’s population.

I admitted my error. I have read your previous posts. Now what? Can we move on and tell Herschel Walker jokes?
No it’s not cause of health care. Except self health care.
Poverty is deadly. A main reason I am so opposing this indiscriminate shutdown. AAs are disproportionately poor and that’s because they are disproportionately single mother households, welfare oriented, indulgent of criminal activity, not finishing high school, and not waiting until marriage. These CHOICES will make you poor no matter what your melanin level is.
If you make the same choices above as a European American or an Asian American, you’ll have the same problems.
Also they smoke more as a delineated race. Very bad for your overall health.
The only genetic factor I might think makes a difference is more high blood pressure. That can be controlled, usually cheaply.
Take it up with the Dems running the city, county, and state.
Probably counting the gun deaths as COVID.
98% of murdered blacks in Chicago are at the hands of other blacks. What’s the reason for that Governor?
The virus, like math, is racist.
As a consolation prize, they will all be allowed to vote in November.
Competing with Chicago's similar per capita Black shooting statistics?
“Very few people are dying in Africa”
Likely due to the usage of a certain medicine that shall remain “anecdotal”.
Being obstinate and skeptical is a cottage industry in the black community. It’s always “the man’s fault”. How many in the black community are following the guidelines, wearing masks , covering their coughs, practicing social distancing? How many weaken their immune system with drugs, 40s, and Newports? Their fate is in their own hands. And no hospital will turn them away if they are gravely ill. They have no one to blame but themselves
How many of those succumbing to the Coronavirus also happened to have gunshot wounds ?
It’s more than the black population isnt making much effort to follow any of the social distancing guidelines, not to mention they are more likely to live in close quarters with more people.
And 90% of the NBA players are black so what can we learn from this?
Chicago is about a 1/3 each of white black and Hispanic
I live in a San Francisco neighborhood that has very few black residents. The City has been under increasingly-stringent lockdown orders for three weeks. When I go to the grocery store there are very few people outside and almost none just loitering around. Aside from the usual street people the only people I see just hanging around are young black males. I’ve been commenting on this for weeks to my local friends and everyone else has seen the same thing. If these young men get sick at higher rates it will be due to their behavior.
Decades of lack of healthcare tied to this new virus?
I didn’t know the Grim Reaper was racist.
Or maybe it won’t.
84% of people dying from CV are 65 and over. What a great way to get rid of the greatest generation and those who still believe in the constitution, god and country!
Must be a hand washing problem.
