Why has COVID hit the black community so hard? Our greatest minds just can't figure it out.

Guess we'll never know.

It exposes the Left and their motives.  They don’t give two shats about containing the virus, or “black lives matter”.  Their guiding principle - the thing that dominates every belief and every policy - is that which helps get Trump out of office.

Go figure. It's racism and economy that are problems and why these democrats are so at risk. :dunno:

Black workers face two of the most lethal preexisting conditions for coronavirus—racism and economic inequality

“We’re all in this together” has become a rallying cry during the coronavirus pandemic. While it is true that COVID-19 has affected everyone in some way, the magnitude and nature of the impact has been anything but universal.

#4 is my favorite.  Social distancing is a privilege and those folks were forced to go out into the streets in mass? :dunno:

#5? When do the majority of the democrats listen to any republican over Nancy Pelosi and her "Go out Chinatown" speech and demonstration, as well as Biden whining about all the xonophic behavior by the republicans for wanting to shut things down? So dumb.

5 Reasons Why Black People Are Reportedly Contracting The Coronavirus More Than Others

Black people aren't just contracting the coronavirus at a disproportionately faster rate than other racial groups. They're dying more too. Here's why

1. Trust issues

Even if a lack of health insurance wasn’t an issue — and it is  the Associated Press had a report Sunday that reminded readers how “Historic failures in government responses to disasters and emergencies, medical abuse, neglect and exploitation have jaded generations of black people into a distrust of public institutions. From the Tuskegee syphilis “study” and to the recent reports about France wanting to conduct coronavirus experiments on Africans, Black people across the globe can’t be blamed for any suspicion about Western medicine. Those trust issues probably mean not just less testing but also less personal protective equipment like masks and gloves, since even hospitals are hurting for those supplies.

 

2. Pre-existing health conditions

The fact that statistically Black people have a laundry list of underlying health issues (including asthma, diabetes and heart disease) that could become exacerbated after contracting the coronavirus is a major concern. It’s also likely contributing to what ProPublica said was Black people “being infected and dying at higher rates.”

3. Black folks are still being locked up

Just because America is grappling with the coronavirus crisis doesn’t mean the unwritten rules of law enforcement are changing for Black people. The NYPD reportedly “won’t slow arrests” even as New York City’s jails are becoming infested with cases of the coronavirus and the notorious Riker’s Island on Sunday reported its first coronavirus-related death. More than half of the city’s inmates are Black.

4. “Social distancing is a privilege”

As the New York Times’ Charles Blow explains so well, “social distancing is a privilege” that Black folks don’t always have. Nearly 20 percent of all Black people are able to work from home, according to statistics from the Economic Policy Insitute. That means they can’t “shelter in place” or obey that stay at home and social distancing orders that others are able to, thus increasing their chances of being exposed to the coronavirus.

5. Fake news

From the president detrimentally downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to ridiculous rumors that Black people were immune to the coronavirus, false narratives have flooded mainstream and social media since the sickness was first reported. On top of that, aside from this past weekend, there hasn’t been much attention given to any racial aspect of the coronavirus. Taken together, all of those factors could have contributed to what seems like some Black folks having a false sense of confidence that they won’t contract the coronavirus. The country is finding out, slowly but surely, that is just not true at all.

Such a joke.  The whole damn movement. Gotta admire the shakedown talents of BLM though.  They’ve got corporate America writing checks and virtue signaling left and right.
