    Why does COVID disproportionately affect MINORITIES?
    If we are to accept that narrative as fact, which is a big if, what is the reason for this?

    Are the infection rates higher or the death rates, or both? Why?

      How would poverty cause a disproportionate affect? Or lack of education?

      Living in close quarters is a good point though, I didn't think of that nor have I heard that brought up. Seems like the vaccination priorities should be focused on crowded areas as opposed to by race then though.

        Low wage jobs -- they can't work from home and have risky jobs
        poor/no healthcare -- lots of untreated conditions, general poor health due to poorer diets
        whites live in more separated environments and do not have as much exposure

        Infection rates are higher and they die at larger rate due to socioeconomic conditions

          It doesn’t, covid disproportionately impacts people who work on the front lines and more minorities happen to work in the front lines.

            Perhaps because they tend to live in larger, multi-generational and multi-family dwellings (apartments) in densely populated areas (big cities) and tend to work high-contact service jobs that can't be done from home.

                Whites are only 10% of the world, whites are the true minorities. Whites need to stop paying for other races to breed.

                  Like everything else they refuse to follow rules/directions.

                  Large gatherings at the park passes around 40’s and neck bones never slowed down, if anything they increased

                    African Americans already have a higher rate of things like heart disease and AA women have the highest rates of obesity.

                    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.

                      Asians are the largest race in the world. Whites are paying for them? What do you bse this on?

                      FYI approx. 60% of US is caucasian.

                        OP wanted to say Black People but used the term minorities. LOL

                        minorities are poorer = fast food = cheap calories = unhealthy diet = health problems = preexisting conditions = early death

                        It's not just Covid. Don't get played by the media. What's the median life expectancy for poor minorities? Poor people die earlier than middle or rich people.

                        People eat pizza and fried chicken while gulping down 2 liters of soda everyday and they wonder why it affects their health. SMFH

                                    Of course it "works" in that it slows the spread. You have to be a fukkin moron not to know it.

                                    We can debate whether it's worthwhile and appropriate for the situation given the societal and freedom costs, but of course it does slow it.

                                              Maybe the whites have a more disease resistant gene makeup. Sort of like how most minorities have the rhythm gene.

                                                      It is time for someone to shut you up permanently in here, you sick piece of s**t. I think someone may pay you a little visit. If they do, you can spread your legs, bend over and kiss your worthless retarded arse good bye. No one in here would deserve it more.

Everybody knows healthcare workers are first. If states were signing decrees to mandating whites receive vaccine first, I can guarantee you wouldn't be responding with such a 'cute' answer.
