To My Fellow Black Folks: Stay at Home
Flagpole ^ | May 6, 2020 | Patrick Davenport

Posted on 05/06/2020 10:40:44 PM PDT by nickcarraway

I’m begging my brothers and sisters to understand this one fact: COVID-19 doesn’t care if you are rich or poor, black or white, a Republican or Democrat; all it does is infect and kill no matter who you are. This is important to remember, because we (black folks) are dying at a much higher rate than anyone else. Your brother can die. Your best friend can die. And, statistically speaking, you are more likely to die. So please understand that this is not a “white” thing. Coronavirus isn’t a joke. You may not even have symptoms or show signs of having coronavirus, but you can still infect others, which means you can murder your loved ones. Don’t be a killer, and don’t get killed.

My brothers and sisters, we all know someone in our family who is ignorant, who thinks this is a joke, who doesn’t understand the coronavirus. They want to hang out, and they don’t care. But please understand this, we are dying at an alarming rate compared to others. Help me help our brothers and sisters survive by taking coronavirus seriously.

So before you rush to open or go to the hair salons, the barber shops (no need to look cute for your funeral) and eventually other businesses, keep in mind that coronavirus is killing us. Your brothers and sisters are dying. In a couple of days you or a loved one could be dead.

Stay home. Quit hanging out. Keep your distance. Sanitize everything, wear protective gloves and face masks, wash your hands constantly, stop the family reunions, stop hanging out on the corners, stop acting a fool and stay the “f” home! It’s a hard thing to do, we get it. We are naturally social, but pretend everyone is trifling and treat them like that. We can get through this. No need to worry about your bills if you are dead. Just please, please, please stay woke, folks. To my black folks who understand, please let your ignorant brothers and sisters know that this is real. Time to fight, and time to win again!

I’m begging my brothers and sisters (I currently identify as an African American), understand this is where our democratic party support over the last 70 years has led us. Trump has a Better plan.

And take vitamin D.
82% of blacks are vitamin D deficient in the US according to one site.

A recent study out of indonesia looked at 780 patients.
4% of the patients who had normal levels of vitamin D died.
88% who had less than normal levels of vitamin D died.
99% who were vitamin D deficient died.

46% of whites are vitamin D deficient. Hispanics are somewhere between whites and blacks.

So what does “Brother" Davenport have to say about Cuomo deliberately sending infected people to old folks homes to go infect them soon they could die more quickly?

“To My Fellow Black Folks: Stay at Home”

Doesn’t matter.
They will mail a ballot to every address, someone will steal it from your mailbox, and someone will harvest it, throw it out if it is a Trump vote, and the democrats will have another victory.

Not logical: “Stay home. Quit hanging out.”
Logical: Stay married. Quit stealing. Boost the immune system.

Sounds like a great plan, Patrick ....

Most new Covid-19 hospitalizations in New York state are from people who were staying home and not venturing much outside, a “shocking” finding, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday. - CNBC

/the media must stand against any thing that defends “Blacks”.

“Blacks” are only good if they die for Dems.

This is also true of native americans. Stay home and if you are smoking and drinking quit for awhile. It just makes it all worse.

Yep I’m Native and I can say that.

all it does is infect and kill no matter who you are.

It kills less than 1% of those who get the disease. The elderly and people with health issues such as heart disease or diabetes should stay indoors and wait for a vaccine to be developed. It's not at all clear that the rest of us need to sit around watching our savings disappear and our futures get destroyed so nitwit governors can preen on the mid-day news.

I wonder if the demographics for the death totals are true. Is it possible that some “officials” are lying about the total of deaths of black people as a way of damping down black support of Trump?

Wonder if folks on Medicaid have a higher mortality rate than patients on other insurance...
