    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.

    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

    They don’t want to be told what to do so they hang out with no masks, no social distancing

    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.

    Public transportation
    Apartments
    Hygiene is poor
    Generally speaking a high fat, high sugar diet.
    causes inflammation of immune system,
    cannot fight Covid

    Compare to suburban whites driving alone, eating protein shakes, showering 2xs a day.

    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.

    If they are getting the real deal then I would say thats great...I think they should be the ones testing this stuff out out if they plan to promote it...I’m from the school of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”...so if these guys want to pump that stuff into their system then godspeed..

    you are a genius. Obviously that was implied as the question referred to general population as a whole. 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.
