Is Covid-19 now being used to kill African Americans Native Americans and other minorities.

This is a serious question

Well, the Chinese really don't like black people...

1. No answer but I wondered that myself.

3. It is a serious question

but given the numbers here in FL, TX and other southern states, IMPOTUS and his cultists are killing many of their own.

I'm seeing, at least at the protests on TV and the small one I attended, AAs, young people and the Democrats who attended were wearing masks.

New York
New Jersey
California
Illinois
Massachusetts

What do the top five states have in common?

Number 6, Texas, has the most cases happening in Houston Sylvester Turner (D), Dallas/Fort Worth Eric Johnson (D), Austin Stephen Adler (D) and El Paso Dee Margo (R)

4. This is what systemic racism is

5. Used by whom, would be my question.

I can easily imagine some racists getting positive test results, and going out to try to infect minorities. Do you think there might be some organized effort to do this?

9. One example

When the US Surgeon General made a statement about the effects of the virus on people of color, particularly the black community, he was sidelined for several weeks...and the Trump White House hasn't been pushing the message, either...that would be an indication of an organized effort on the part of the Trump administration to commit genocide!!!

7. YES !!! 25% of all deaths are AA IINM this is no doubt Red Don's way to win seeing CV19 is affecting blue areas the worst.

He's willing to sacrifice his minions to kill off dems voting base

11. they started demanding reopening when it became know it was killing non-whites more.

I don't believe it's unrelated.

12. The percentage of African Americans who have it and die from it is high in Chicago Our

mayor and governor have started various programs to promote more testing and they even have free programs for telehealth where they send BP cuffs and pulse oximeters for a few weeks with nurses calling daily. I think it has made a difference. For now we are on the other side of the curve unless it goes up from the protests.

In other states I could see how cutting services and not adding them could be used to kill minorities.

16. If so, it's also being used to kill old people and health care workers.

It's a virus. Its only purpose is to inject itself into a cell, replicate, and move on. It doesn't care about anything else, and it's not really alive.

Just like HIV wasn't used by right wing Christians to kill gay men, this isn't being used by anyone. Oh, I'll admit there might be a stray bigot out there who feels a little off and coughs whenever he gets near a POC, but it's not an organized effort.

What remains to be determined is why people with more melanin in their skin are more susceptible to severe illness. The easy guess would be reduced ability to synthesize vitamin D, along with high rates of lactose intolerance due to an inability to digest D fortified milk. I would suggest all POC get their D levels checked and if they're low, supplement to get them into the recommended range.

Another factor could very well be air quality, since POC are concentrated in areas with high pollution in many areas. Here in NM, San Juan County has a high death rate, 7.4%, that can't be explained any other way, the neighboring country has a rate under 5%, as does much of the state. The difference is the air quality, which is poor up in the 4 Corners area, often some of the worst in the country. If such is the case where anyone is reading this, the course is clear, VOTE. Get those bastards OUT. I will join you in that.

(Oh, and there is a tradeoff for that lower vitamin D synthesis, being able to tolerate solar radiation at low latitudes without developing widespread skin cancer or burning to a crisp. It's an evolutionary adaptation to equatorial areas, both dry and rainforest. It's just a liability at high latitudes without D3 replacement)

17. I thought that was always the point. And I've been hearing that for months.

No, DNA is just racist. As are many blacks' health and social habits. And the Chinese ... the Chinese designed this coronavirus to seek out blacks' DNA.

And ... OMG! Warpy is being a voice of reason? Of course, being DU, it took 16 responses (plus-or-minus) for someone to point out the grossly obvious.

Oh silly warpy!

Obviously you do not know that C-19 has been programmed to target People Of Colour, especially Blacks.  The fact a few deserving Whiteys get it just means the programming was not perfect.

You must be on the wrong board!

Why imagine? One of you is planning on doing it.

God,these mutts are ****ed up.

[DLR Pyro]

sickle cell was created along time ago by white racists to figure out a way to specifically target blacks with a disease and tweaked over the decades to allow pinpoint targeting of blacks with the specific goal of the day when Putin installed tRump as IMPOTUS so he could use this targeting technology to give the covid to blacks to keep his cultist base happy.

Yep. It was on NBC news yesterday... blacks and hispanics hardest hit.  Its now official. Its a racist disease!!!  Never mind all the other races that have died... blacks and hispanics are the target of this disease.

Wouldn't it be ironic if all the protesters got the virus and died?  They were told not to congregate but oh well, we got to protest.

"Disproportionate impact" equals proof of discrimination in Progs' Racial Gospel. They do not want to think whether the disproportion might be due to poor health and social choices common among the ethnic minority.

Or a genetic difference - Sickle Cell Anemia is a clearly racist disease. While the mechanism is being investigated yet, there is a clear statistical correlation between severity of the disease and having Type A blood (but US blacks are just ~27% Type A blood, a bit less than the world-wide %).

Dammit, they're onto us.  This race war thing is harder than it looks, they keep figuring out all our evil plans.

Dammit. Have they figured out that white supremacists working as cops killed innocent, angelic , young black men to cause the protests and riots, too?
