Dr. Anthony Fauci took time during Tuesday's White House coronavirus press briefing to draw attention to societal problems, delving into how African Americans in some states had been harder hit by the novel coronavirus in terms of intensive-care intubations and risk of death compared with the rest of the population.
In Chicago, more than half of all COVID-19 positive test results and 72% of recorded virus-related deaths have been among African Americans, who make up just 32% of the city's population and 15% for the state of Illinois.
In parts of Wisconsin, the numbers have been even more disproportionate. Seventy-three percent of all COVID-19 deaths in Milwaukee County have been among black people, who make up under half of all positive test results and just 28% of the county's population.
Fauci raised the subject after President Donald Trump left Tuesday evening's briefing halfway through.

ho many patients of any color are getting to see doctors for routine heart care followups these days?
Lying Obamunist.
Fauci needs to tell the ‘Minorities” to correct their lousy eating habits, get out and exercise, quite drinking and smoking and take control of their own lives.
If this becomes the daily narrative at the WH pressers, most will not view.
I say it will
Enough with this guy already. How much crap are we supposed to take from him?
That FRAUD is WAY TOO HAPPY!!!
So it would’ve been OK If had been disproportionately white Tony?
You see.
He’s not a serious man.
36 years to develop antiviral so. Billions of dollars.
He came up with nothing.
Just did crap that wasn’t his purview.
never let a crisis go to waste
bang the drum of racism
'Unacceptable' in what way? In lifestyle? In eating habits? Been wondering when race would work its way into all of this.
You Nailed it. It will be called racist to open the country.
I do not want to become diabetic therefore I choose to avoid obesity. I guess that makes me a racist.
How much longer will the president tolerate Hillary’s fool to mouth off propaganda under the Presidential banner?
Not as deadly as an African American Child in the Womb though.
If you analyzed some black populations that have recently come from African countries rather than analyzing inner city black folks who have been inner city residents for generations they'd probably be at less risk than white folks rather than at more risk.
JMHo
He’s not talking about racism.
He is talking about their food and lifestyle choices which are leading to comorbities
Most of it if not all self-inflicted...I don’t think this is factually wrong at all.
Deep state doctor Fauci
HIV Has been disproportionally black and (under 30 by the way) almost from the get-go
Where is his outrage over that For most of past 4 decades?
These are lifestyle “diseases” common among people who live on public assistance.
Obesity and diabetes - bad diet choices, asthma- smoking.
Exactly. Doing those things are hard...take discipline. Blaming someone else for your failures is easy.
