The new coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout threaten to exacerbate mortality rates for African-Americans

, which have risen in recent years for blacks in middle age.

Blacks are dying at disproportionately high rates from the coronavirus, and their unemployment rate has tripled as a result of the pandemic. The financial stress, along with long-simmering racial tensions highlighted by the May 25 killing of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police, may compound stressors that have been shown to worsen...

This is exactly why realDonaldTrump and his butt-kissing buddies want to open it up - because COVID-19 is disproportionately killing African-Americans.

I've seen this statement with zero peer-reviewed study, zero medical science, all 100% innuendo and assumption. The very definition of pseudo science and false. I would think this affect ALL those struggling with the economy. Smh.

And that is why the administration handling of the coronavirus is limited.

And back to the regular programing. Thousands of people protesting world wide, yelling, shoulder to shoulder and not a word of Covid. Now media realize the rest of the world is tone deaf so it's time to revive the old narrative again for the peaceful individual to stay home.

Это неожиданно

It’s the Covid😱fool me once....

I thought BLM .. if the virus is killing more colored people.. soo why the protests can be ongoing? doesn't they infect each other more easily. ? And get killed HLM ALM WWG1WGA

RACEBAITING

Ahh, no wonder the Trump administration does not seem to care about Covid-19.

Too much rioting, looting, and burning down buildings. It comes with a price tag. Enjoy the ventilators. All Lives Matter. Ask God.

WSJ. EVERYONE PLEASE PRAY. SINCERELY MS. GARY. LOVE ONE AND ALL. PLEASE PRAY.

So the virus is racist also?

Then why continue to promote riots?

As always: “World Ends, Minorities Hardest Hit”

Yep! That's why the Enemy is calling these young, selfish, not so bright people into streets for BlackLivesMatter to kill off Black vote! They FOOLISHLY follow RevDrBarber shaunking TheRevAl into the streets taking virus back to our voting core to wipe them out! All4Money

Why are you trying to shoehorn race into everything?

I absolutely commend you WSJ for writing this article and acknowledging the facts of black lives in danger because of the pandemic. But you need to add a statement about the white lives that endanger Blacks AND all people by not wearing masks or social distancing

Just take Vitamin D people. Not complicated. It is not because of skin color. It is because of malnutrition.

and I guess other races are untouched by the virus? geesh...what gives

Sometimes blessings come in strange disguises.🙄

That's interesting. Some scientists say they are immune... One thing's for sure scientist are a bunch of racist bastards that don't believe in higher powers. Other than the bank.
