“Here’s the racial background of the 977 people who’ve contracted COVID-19 in Austin and Travis County as of April 14.

76% of the patients are white
10% are black
4% are Asian
5% are other
4% are unknown

These numbers are not representative of those who have died for the coronavirus. Mayor Adler said 17 people have died. Of those 17, one of them was black and one-thirds are Hispanic.

“Those numbers track generally speaking population, but I’m concerned we’re not going to be able to maintain that if we’re like all the other cities in the country,” Adler said.”

The racial breakdown of Travis Co. is “48.7% White Alone, 33.9% Hispanic or Latino, and 7.92% Black or African American Alone.”

So, Whites have a third more cases than their population percent. Blacks are right at their percent yet there’s still hand wringing headlines.

Liberals have been doing this all over the country, trying to make it look like blacks are dying at a higher rate, but the death rates are following the racial demographics of the areas. For example, we have some very hard hit areas in Georgia, but the deaths follow almost exactly the demographics. The biggest difference county to county here has been the rate of obesity and chronic health problems. The areas hardest hit in south GA also happen to be the areas with the highest incidence of obesity.

Why is the CDC not talking about this? Urge people to go on Keto - we know it lowers A1C. Oh, nevermind, the dropped the “prevention” part of their job description.
