Africa, it's a continent, kind of on the other side of the world to you guys. Hispanics; folks in Central and South America who have a mix of Southern European, African and Indigenous American DNA
Despite Donald Trump’s xenophobia, there are Africans and Hispanics living here in America who are being adversely effected by the coronavirus, equally as much as African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Hispanic Americans. How do you account for that?
Why do African Americans and Hispanic Americans have a higher mortality rate than Africans or Hispanics that aren't in the USA?

Feds copy leaf blower idea from protesters who used them to direct tear gas back to feds. Trump’s Federal Squads Steal Leaf Blower Idea From Portland Protest Dads Portland’s “Fathers Against Fascism” joined the “Wall of Moms,” and brought leaf blowers to redirect tear gas.

Why did Trump pick Portland? He's following the lead of far-right groups, and the city's history Extremist groups have long targeted Portland for rallies that turn into street fights — Trump is following suit Amanda Marcotte July 28, 2020 5:33PM (UTC) Why Portland? Trump's following the lead of far-right groups excerpt: "Why did Donald Trump pick Portland? It's a question worth asking. There are more than two dozen American cities bigger than Oregon's largest, and of the Rose City's 650,000 or so residents, fewer than 7% are Black. Nearly all the cities larger than Portland have more diverse populations, and most have had substantial, ongoing Black Lives Matter protests since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd in late May. Yet Trump settled on Portland — not New York or L.A. or Atlanta, and not Minneapolis, where this all began — as the staging ground for his plan to flood a city with federal police in hopes of escalating violence, all in hopes of generating scary images to frighten Fox News viewers with. Portland wasn't targeted for public safety reasons, obviously. Trump doesn't care about people's safety, for one thing. For another, the presence of federal police officers is very pointedly to reduce public safety and escalate the violence Trump wants for his campaign ads. It's also a confusing choice, considering that Portland is one of the whitest large cities in the nation — a demographic reality visible on the ground among the protests — making it an odd choice for a nakedly racist president who is making a big public stink of his loathing for anti-racism activists. Trump is clearly expanding his war on cities to other places, but Portland was clearly picked for the rollout of this fascistic crackdown for a reason."
Yes we know Americans carry excess weight equivalent of 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. Your point being obesity will be the death knell for thousands of US citizens, ok, got it.
Lol. Because they don't have Trump as President? lol. Seriously, do you mean mortality rate from Covid, cuz the morality rate in general is much higher in Africa and Latin America than it is here. In sub-Saharan Africa, 13 countries, accounting for1 out of every 20 of the world's people — have life expectancies at birth of 55 years, compared with 70 for the rest of the world. All in Africa: The World's 13 Highest-Mortality Countries - PassBlue The mortality rate for Latin America and the Caribbean is much higher than for the U.S. a.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/mortality-and-morbidity-latin-america-and-caribbean Deaths from cerebrovascular diseases was 2- to 4-fold higher in Latin America (except Puerto Rico) than in North America, and recent declines in these rates in most countries of the region were less than in those in the USA and Canada. Epidemiology in Latin America and the Caribbean: current situation and challenges The higher rates of Covid cases for African-Americans and Hispanics in the U.S. is probably because of the older age profile and higher obesity in the U.S. than in Africa and Latin America. Africa facing a quarter of a billion coronavirus cases, WHO predicts
Everyone wear face masks, everyone hide indoors and ruin the world economy.... ....just as long as no one tells any first worlders to hit the treadmill, becuase that would hurt their feelings
Because that stupid bastard hephatrump has allowed the virus to run riot without taking adequate precautions to stop it !!!
Trump continues to spread misinformation in the hopes that all schools will reopen for in-person classes. Facebook removes Trump post for falsely claiming children are ‘almost immune’ to COVID-19 They’re not By Nick Statt Aug 5, 2020, 6:26pm EDT Facebook removes Trump post for falsely claiming children are ‘almost immune’ to COVID-19 excerpt: "Facebook has removed a post posted by President Donald Trump’s account for violations of its misinformation policy, the company confirmed to The Verge. The video posted was of a Trump interview with Fox News’ Fox & Friends program, in which the president claimed children are “almost immune” to COVID-19, which is false. The interview also included Trump saying COVID-19 “is going to go away,” and that his view is that “schools should open” because “this it will go away like things go away.”
How is "almost immune" actually false though? On a scale of zero immunity through to full immunity, one would assume "almost immune" would be somewhere between half way and full immunity Just another example where he throws out some vague phrase and the media jumps on it too quickly without thinking about it Death rate for under 19s is currently sitting at 0.0004% And a reminder of what the word immune actually means immune /ɪˈmjuːn/ Learn to pronounce adjective 1. resistant to a particular infection or toxin owing to the presence of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells And the vast majority have Sars-CoV-2 resistant t cells, so "almost immune" for kids is actually true, 99.9996% aren't going to die from it They very easily can get infected at school, then kill grandad on his next visit , but they themselves, meh, it is what it is
My two favourite sayings of 2020: "We can't let the cure be worse than the disease" "It is what it is" in a Seinfeld NY accent - whattayagonnnado
Immune means catching it... Not dying from it. If kids can catch it, they can spread it. But it's okay because the might spread it to gramma who's going to die in two years anyways, right?
A gave you a reminder of what the word actually means immune /ɪˈmjuːn/ Learn to pronounce adjective 1. resistant to a particular infection or toxin owing to the presence of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells
