The coronavirus is exerting a disproportionate toll on black people in places like Chicago, according to new statistics.
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.
"This is a call to action moment for all of us," she told a news conference. "When we talk about equity and inclusion, they are not just nice notions. They are an imperative that we must embrace as a city."
The virus' disproportionate impact on blacks also is reflected in new data released Monday by Illinois and Michigan officials.
I knew it, but surprised it took this long. I knew that somebody on the way left was going to associate Covid-19 with race. They have made statements that it related to not having socialized healthcare, the environment, you know the rest. I guess according to this Mayor, we now have a racist virus. Who knew when China created it?
