Hmmmm. What say you 'Rev' Al? Maybe you need to help them. Oh wait...you've been doing that.

geewheezie A racist GOPlandemic. Remember that Chinese woman deported from Mar Lago with 21 phones? Rudy & Pompeo in Italy? Iran officials sick? All 3 weeks prior to P-DAY Blue states and minorities mostly affected? GOPRACISTGENOCIDE rightwingmurder

I used to live in Chicago. It is a city set up by economic class, with poor blacks pushed to the South side. Is this where the deaths are occurring? Or are we saying AA’s are generally more likely to die from it? Either way needs to be addressed, but more info is needed.

This is what needs to be aired ... NOT the hate briefings. For gods sake stop. Why do you torture us? Money? If so, you’re as bad as he is.

chicagosmayor nations with active BCG (TB) Vaccine programs are showing 1/10th the numbers of Covid_19 infections to nations that did not provide BCG vaccinations to its citizens. Wholesale price is $1.10 for a single dose that lasts for multiple years.

American citizens are dying sad Wash hands firmly That’s what scientists told public long long time ago All citizens must follow simple things to survive No color special

Oh I thought that was a mug shot...my bad

Underlying health problems. High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, etc.

USA has reported more than 367,000 confirmed cases | New York becomes the hotspot Latest updates | cases per million population👇 COVID2019 COVID19

is it stunning tho? These stats are and they’ve been well known. Where has she been when it comes to addressing these issues pre-coronavirus?

The man made HIV did target blacks, gays and junkies (D.C.), so this is possible.

Are they social distancing ?

Just would love to see the data to support some of these stated positions. It's not to argue, it is to prove.

Why doesn’t she care this much when they are all shooting each other?

Tell Lightfoot that Swiss docs massive survey found pollution correlation w/ lethality = or than sex & age diff etc. If u get Zelenko cocktail ready for OUTpatient Rx as soon shortness of breath occurs & u can stop 99% of the deaths. It's no naive Hydroxi 'cure' as CNN infers.

Why not try COMPULSORY face & nose covering in public? No more droplets OUT = no more virus IN, right? If we ALL protect the others, well... we are ALL protected.

I hope you're mentioning that obesity and unhealthy lifestyles are a massive problem in the black community.

Jesus covid is racist too? Wow.

WHY BLACK COMMUNITY IMMEDIATELY TURN INTO RACE? AN ASIAN WOMAN BADLY BEATEN ON BUS ON CORONAVIRUS RAISED IN ASIA? THE NEW YORKER WOMAN AND 3 TEENS WERE FROM THEIR COMMUNITY, ONE 15 YEARS OLD ARRESTED? SO EYES ON RACE NOT JUSTIFY

Oh, stop it. Stop playing the race card. If someone did a study, they'd probably find it's something they're doing, or not doing correctly, like taking the necessary steps to kill the virus. Social distancing, etc. It could be because Chicago has a higher population of blacks.

May we see the actual stats?

I knew that darned corona was racist.

She should stop doing Crack

Well, respond to it.

It unbelievable
