Though the coronavirus has been called the"great equalizer", data suggests that vulnerability to the infection may vary by neighbourhood.
White residents account for about 23% of recorded cases in Michigan and 28% of deaths, according to the data.Trump says call with Biden was"really wonderful" A similar disparity has emerged in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of the most segregated cities in the US. Health officials have previously said the Big Easy's residents suffer from rates of obesity, diabetes and hypertension that are higher than the national average, making them more vulnerable to Covid-19.Mayor Lightfoot said diabetes, heart disease and respiratory illness were"really prevalent" in black communities.
Yes, and it's about time we stepped up and put a stop to the reasons why. People of African ethnicity are long overdue for equal treatment and opportunity. Enough! Worldwide. It's ignorant on the part of the rest of us. We do not deserve better than they do. Equality for ALL.
Tomorrow it will be migrants. 🙄
the inequality under the stars and stripes
It’s wreaking havoc in communities who choose to ignore isolation advice. Also badly affecting the obese, particularly those with diabetes. For some communities, that is a triple whammy
“Racist Virus” now I’ve heard it all
Oh, so now the virus is discriminating! What crap! People need to follow the guidelines!
Because they don’t have access to health care at any time
It was only a matter of time before it turned out the Corona virus was racist.
Damn racist Coronavirus.
It's spreading like wildfire in Indian Country as well.
would it be better to wait till the epidemic over
And pray tell what percentage of detected infections are they. Some statistics give information while others merely confuse.
Your gonna do it aren't you.....your gonna play the race card 😂😂
PoliTeesBubble Trump lied. African-Americans died.
This is probably a statistical error based on the underestimate of black people in the studied population.
True.
Seriously. People on low incomes in the UK are paying for this ? DefundtheBBC
Only those ones?
Nice try...playing the race card. But I'll have you know our brothers and sisters were used to the cold and flu. We literally still work when we have flu. We know this disease will kill off more gentiles before it does the Hebrews joined to them. It's prophecy.
Seriously. People on low incomes on the UK are paying for this ? defundthebbc
Pray for them... May God Always Protect Them from Coronavirus.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why are you saying 'African Americans?' You're the UK news, just say Black, like normal people.
Coronavirus is racist
Yea and the white community I has got it made! No problems! You idiot!
America is going to be shown in a VERY bad light in this. It's 'healthcare' system already was the joke of the world, that's going to cost American lives as it is. The poorest and most vulnerable will suffer the greatest losses as they are doing around the world.
i wonder why?
Chicago- my kinda town
😔
G6PD Deficiency. Highly prevalent amongst those of African and Mediterranean descent. There has to be a link here.
TV licence fee pays for this ?
Social distancing is a luxury some communities can’t afford!
Because unfortunately, I'm not sure they took this as serious, or maybe they have economic reasons for needing to be out. Seeing kids still hanging out playing ball or something is distressing, but let's hope the message sinks in sometime soon.
You should not be allowed to report on this. It's racist.
Bs
Pm too
