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 would suspect jobs with a lot of customer service contact, and social circles would be heavily in play.
Or just overweight and diabetic.

Just give it to a bunch of suburban white people to even things up.
BMI > 30 + DIABETES
Can’t wait to hear Louis Farrakhan’s take on all this….
Of course life style and behavior have nothing to do with it.
There are no real stats to back up the claim. The actual number of deaths (even infection) due to coronavirus isn't known, either. Some *real* stats:

what? I thought i read the extra melanin protects black people from this virus.
“What proportion of Chicago is Black? “
RTFA! or at least the two sentences posted...
The percentage of smoking at different race/ethnicity Non-Hispanic American 31.8% Non-Hispanic multiple race individuals 25.2% Non-Hispanic Blacks 16.5% Non-Hispanic Whites 16.6% Hispanics 10.7% Non-Hispanic Asian 9.0%

Diabetes is racist. Blacks have a disproportionate share of diabetic population in Chicago and elsewhere. If a diabetic gets Covid 19 his mortality is severely threatened. But if you are a white pandering Dem politician it is easier to go with the identity politics storyline
The virus is racist!!!!
