Coronavirus exerts heavy toll on blacks in places like Chicago

Just got back from Walmart. What I'm seeing is two groups that don't seen to care about the whole "wearing masks" thing. Those would be blacks and red necks. Natural Selection in action, Kiddies!
There are not any masks available to purchase. At Wal Mart and other stores. Besides, there are people who have purposely been coughed on by others in the past who have had bad colds and flu's and the such who will most likely return the favor to others. There are so many groups of people and individuals that want to see our nation in turmoil that they have to take a number.

Masks are available, just not the N-95 that's needed for self protection. They are advertising non-medical masks on Facebook all the time.

The masks don't protect you from others, Ray...they protect others from you! So if you see someone walking around without one...they're sending a clear message that they don't give a damn if they kill someone else.

You can make a perfectly fine mask from a handkerchief or a dish towel. It's not rocket science.

I'm going to use my dust mask for when I do drywall repairs and paint. I bought a pack of them before all this hysteria started. I only go out when I absolutely have to.

I'm using one of those. I got it at Lowes or Home Depot years ago. A three pack, and I only used one.

And the black folks are not social distancing at my grocery store. The wife and I are chancing Home Depot at opening on Thur. I need some landscaping bricks, we have a broken toilet seat, and we haven't gotten our tomato plants and miracle grow plant meth yet.

In the store, it's nearly impossible to not be near somebody. As is my luck, I always get that little old lady in front of me that wants to read everything on a soup can, when I want to get my groceries and get the hell out of there. You have to pass them up.

Now they are discussing if aisles should be one-way only to prevent people from passing each other. The Governor ordered stores to have a limit on how many customers could shop at one time. I understand people are standing outside the store waiting to get in like the old Soviet Union.

Many stores are now offering curbside service. I may order my groceries and just pick them up outside if possible. If they charge more, so be it.
 
When this pandemic started, I remember seeing some white liberal reporter trying her best to hold back a smile as she predicted massive deaths of Trump-supporters, because "They don't believe in science". I also remember thinking this won't turn out like she thinks.

Apparently, Chicago's black and brown communities are being hit hard from the Coronavirus. Exacerbating the virus is the fact that those neighborhoods have an above-normal amount of morbid obesity, uncontrolled hypertension, accelerated coronary artery disease, uncontrolled diabetes, non-compliance in their dialysis, as well as being among the 40% of the people with AIDS/HIV in America. When you throw in their above-average use of tobacco, heavy alcohol use, and drug use rates above the US average, you're looking at a recipe for disaster. You would be hard pressed to find a group which is more vulnerable to COVID19.

Rate of Deaths, Illness Among Black Residents Alarms Cities

"Chicago's mayor pledged an aggressive public health campaign aimed at the city's black and brown communities Monday amid alarm that an overwhelming number of African American residents were among the people to die of COVID-19 in early data.

Black residents accounted for 72% of deaths from COVID-19 complications in the city and 52% of positive tests for the coronavirus, despite making up only 30% of the city's population, according to the city's public health agency...

...Similar conditions mark other large cities with large black populations that are considered hot spots for the coronavirus, including New York, Detroit, Milwaukee and New Orleans. Figures released Monday by Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services showed African Americans, who make up 14% of the state population, make up about 33% of cases statewide and 41% of deaths. "

It looks like they finally found their reparations. Reparations for living in Chicago and voting Democrat. They had their chance. They've had their whole life to move back to Africa where it would have been safe far away from liberal policies.
 
Yeah, the folks standing there picking up ten different brands of the same item and inspecting them are killing me.

I did give some lady the last bottle of a 100 generic Tylenol arthritis, and I took the last 25 a couple weeks back. I still had a bottle and was hording … with good reason btw.
 
I find it hard to believe blacks are dying in cities where blacks are the majority, or close to a majority.

will wonders never cease -

We need to free the blacks from Democrat slavery!!

Oh wait the Republicans already did that.

Did you read the OP or just jump to the last page? Here is the Mayors complaint:

Blacks make up 52 percent of Chicago’s coronavirus cases and 72 percent of deaths, but make up only 30 percent of the population, Mayor Lori Lightfoot reported Monday.

Dear Mayor Lori-

go to NOLA .

I know liberals will scream ,race, poverty, and poor access to healthcare...but it seems to me they are just genetically predisposed to get the virus. Science on this will be interesting. It's like Sicklecell Anemia.
 
Seems I saw a headline about Chicago being effected that way also.

Over weight, high blood pressure, and hypertension.
 
It has more to do with general health (or lack thereof) than it has to do with one's ethnicity. Many black people might think that it's the result of lack of access, but that is probably secondary to the bigger issue of chronic health conditions.

I agree. That is a major factor.

I agree. I live in Louisiana and the diet here is all deep fried food. Especially with the black community. The families I know never eat stir fry with vegetables, stews and soups with vegetables, and certainly never a salad. It is all fried foods wether it's sea food, chicken, even corn on the cob. They bread and deep fry corn on the cob. In fact the people down here deep fry ice cream. The diet is like the carnival midway. BTW everything is spicy and the base for all the spices...is salt.
