The preliminary results in showing an increase in incidence of Wuhan virus in African Americans is predictably politicized by the LSM - clawing for any propaganda traction they find to accuse the POTUS.
There seems to be a higher rate of severe disease in diabetics. Diabetes is associated with obesity, and the African American population is significantly more likely to be obese.
From - HHS - Office of Minority Health_:
Obesity and African Americans
- African American women have the highest rates of obesity or being overweight compared to other groups in the United States. About 4 out of 5 African American women are overweight or obese.
- In 2018, non-Hispanic blacks were 1.3 times more likely to be obese as compared to non-Hispanic whites.
- In 2018, African American women were 50 percent more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic white women.
- From 2013-2016, non-Hispanic black females were 2.3 times more likely to be overweight as compared to non-Hispanic white females.
- People who are overweight are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, high levels of blood fats, diabetes and LDL cholesterol – all risk factors for heart disease and stroke.1
- In 2018, African Americans were 20 percent less likely to engage in active physical activity as compared to non-Hispanic whites.
A correllation is not the same as causative proof.
Still - it is interesting. Obesity may play a part in Wuhan virus disease.
Obese Americans of other races may also be more susceptible to wuhan virus.
It is not about skin color - but about obesity.
Fascist DPST's may clown in and label me and my post "Racist" all U want.
I don't care.
As OP - my post has nothing to do with Bernie dropping out.
I still think he should stay running.
Biden is trying to attract the Berniephiles - good senile luck with that!
