They live in squalor, herds, big Dem run cities. Hubby worked with 1 who was terrified of small cities with less crime, wanted a big city where here was booze at motel.

Until they develop a disease like heart or diabetes they avoid doctors. Then they don’t follow many instructions.

“Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.”

While there may be a genetic predisposition, other, universal (and possibly not so universal), factors would seem more likely to be at play. Not a time to be driving our society farther apart, but some just don’t seem to be able to keep themselves from doing so.

I see groups of black people hanging out together without masks. My black neighbor had a bunch of people over for Easter. That neighbor and my hispanic neighbor were standing next to each other chatting the other day. Draw your own conclusions.

Carbohydrate ingestion causes insulin resistance. Insulin resistance keeps glutamine and glutamate stored in the extracellular matrix (ECM), because it can’t be imported into cells. Glutamine and glutamate acidify the ECM.

COVID-19 requires an acidic ECM for un-impeded entry into cells. American Black people, especially black women, have a much higher rate of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This makes them more vulnerable to complications of COVID-19.

COVID-19 is prejudiced against blacks on the basis of dietary habits.

“$$$$$$$$$$”

Question here is to be earned, or just taken?

Obesity is the obvious culprit. I bet if they examined the statistics not by race, but by age and weight, they’d have their answer. But that isn’t the answer they want.

#Coronavirus: Review to be launched into why ethnic minorities worst-hit by COVID-19,

Does it have anything to do with the (dis)proportional distribution of testing?

I don't hate them, but I don't know if I'd notice if they were gone. Sorry, but... I care about black people exactly as much as they care about me. (Bizarre that we now live in a world where that perfectly normal human attitude is shocking.)

Subways and buses. And I didn’t have to spend millions on a study to figure that out.

Indeed, Subways Seeded the Massive Coronavirus Epidemic

Plus minorities have usually lived in low-income more densely populated areas, whether they be Irish or African. And at least in the USA, blacks are more overweight.

Cities...public transportation.

Could be living conditions-multi generational households or crowded living quarters. Could be subways and mass transit. Could be lack of fresh air. Could be Vitamin D deficiency. People with dark skin don’t get as much benefit from the sun and Northern areas and cloudy areas don’t have enough sun even for pale faces— could be a factor.
