The White House coronavirus task force reports there has been evidence African Americans are dying at a higher rate than other demographics amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
The data is still being studied, according to President Donald Trump, but National Institutes of Health’s Dr. Anthony Fauci is estimating the African American death rate is a result of common underlying health conditions within that community that also have a higher rate of serious to critical infections from COVID-19.
“This is a real problem and it’s showing up very strongly in our data on the African American community,” Trump told reporters at the daily press briefing Tuesday. “And we’re doing everything in our power to address this challenge.
“It’s a tremendous challenge; it’s terrible.”
Trump’s task force is working on providing support to the hard-hit African American community in the U.S.
“It’s been disproportional,” he added. “They’re getting hit very, very hard.”
Fauci noted the task force is looking at the co-morbidities of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and asthma as potential causes for the “disparity” of coronavirus deaths in the U.S., because those also disproportionately affect minority population, in particular African Americans.
“We have a particularly difficult problem, an exacerbation of a health disparity,” Fauci said.
“Unfortunately, when you look at the predisposing conditions that lead to a bad outcome with coronavirus – the things that get people into ICUs, that require intubation, and often lead to death – they are just those very co-morbidities that are unfortunately disproportionately prevalent in the African American population.
“So, we’re very concerned about that. It’s very sad. There’s nothing we can do about it right now, except try to give them the best possible care to avoid those complications.”

I cannot find any government stat that indicates this charge is so. All I can find is that the CDC keeps stats on the Coronavirus by age and gender. If anyone has a government site that has racial stats regarding the Coronavirus post it please.
“COVID-19 Co-morbidity” search should produce an answer to your query. I just typed that in ‘Bing’ and got a dozen articles concerning COVID-19 associations. CDC is slow to post, but all the other nations seem to have an opinion.
Just like any ‘cure’, what’s known of past pandemics, it will be many months before there is any defined ‘patterns’ published for this strain.
“African Americans are dying at a higher rate than other demographics”
As a group or identity, they’re getting knocked off because of a historical aspect of the Welfare system and demonrat pandering of past ‘reparations proclamations’ and “feel-good” policies. The health organizations want to list them as a ‘group’ as though there is some isolate genetic reason for poor health. While there are genetic signatures in every assumption, most in this group are ‘adult onset diabetes’, which results from a lifestyle choice. [As rendered under the current pandemic signatures.] A vast majority of deaths seem to be co-morbidity of the virus in diabetics.
I think its part of the problem of giving into the lazy aspect of living off of ‘ancestral baggage’.
But, it’s always been major currency for the demons. “Vote for us and you’ll get a check.”
“When you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. When you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.”
Because there are many in that demographic that are prone to slovenly lifestyle issues, based on; poor education, parental duration, public perceptions, or lack of interest in caring for themselves. They are a demographic still seeking a parental government and welfare sustenance of some sort, left over from a major controlling demographic. The young grow up under it, and continue it by default. Children learn life from their grownups, parents, guardians, school teachers . . .
There are too many ‘illnesses’ today that are ‘defined’ and even “created” without regard to choices one makes, like diabetes. Poor habits can cause the effects of illness, but are not true illness. Change behaviors, change illness factors. Stop eating garbage, correct diabetes. Stop smoking if you want to breath better.
It’s a bad habit of the demons to single out labels and demand they stay put.
African-descendent Americans are coming off the demonrat plantation under Trump’s business acumen, and work values. America is proud again.
As time passes and more and more young people grow up under a stronger work ethic, they will disappear as a group on sustenance, and thereby a major group with illness definitions; and their lifestyle factors (tabulations) will change too.
The trouble with all the COVID-19 death tabulations is that many are NOT caused by the ‘pandemic’, yet the CDC requires it be listed as a cause at the time of death.
Even if a guy gets run over by a bus, but he tested positive for coronavirus, his death record will say COVID-19 as the cause of death.
The virus does not affect everyone. Cognitive people know this. It’s the demonrats who require labels that is screwing up the total understanding of this strain of the ‘flu’; which happens EVERY year. All the “concerned citizens” needed to do was post a bulletin or notify the public that certain individuals could be adversely affected (like Sweden). They did find out early-on that the elderly were particularly vulnerable. Of course, they only just found out about how it affects the lining of the lungs. Still, there are certainties about the flu doctors and researchers know that would have applied to this strain as early cautions.
The exaggerated ‘numbers’ by the left-leaning Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) created the panic. The demon media fanned the flames; demonrats licked their chops.
Less than 25% of their prognostications have come true.
Yet, Obamacare’s Zeke Emanuel is out there voicing his opinion, still rooting for a long-term shutdown.
The CDC’s own records should have been enough to stall such a panic, but a ‘cause‘ was needed to further the demon agenda; a diversion, a crisis to plunder like Pill-osi did with the aid bills.
In 2018 the CDC recorded; 67,000 deaths due to drugs, 50,000 suicides, 88,000 Alcohol-related deaths (mostly drunk driving), 83,000 people died from diabetes (lifestyle obesity factors), 606,000 died of cancers, and 61,000 died from influenza (common flu). [2017 tabulations are similar; 2019 records aren’t available yet.]
How many people have died from the Wuhan Flu? Doesn’t it LOOK like a created crisis?
Meanwhile, 17 million people out of work . . . who knows how long?
