[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Because health care is poorer in black neighborhoods. 2) Because black Americans tend to be in poorer health overall (due to institutional racism, higher rates of poverty, etc) 3) Because black Americans probably tend to work the kinds of jobs deemed essential (low income work at grocery stores, delivery services, food services, janitorial work, public sector utilities, etc) and are therefore more likely to be exposed right now. Just for starts. [/quote] All of this. Plus because of the poorer health care, there is a lot of uncontrolled HBP, diabetes etc that are preexisting conditions for a bad infection.[/quote]
