Counties across the country with a disproportionate number of African-American residents accounted for 52 percent of diagnoses and 58 percent of coronavirus deaths nationally, according to a new study released Tuesday.

The study, conducted by epidemiologists and clinician-researchers at four universities in conjunction with the nonprofit AIDS research organization amFar and PATH’s Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, attempts to fill in the blanks as states report piecemeal data on race and ethnicity.

trends in states such as Wisconsin and Louisiana, which have seen African-Americans hit harder by the coronavirus compared to white residents.

The study also found that the disproportionately black counties ravaged by coronavirus cases and deaths showed high levels of underlying conditions like heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes.

There is some misleading wording in that study. The information definitely points to underlying problems, but the wording is misleading about the level of the impact on the overall community. In a place like Illinois the infection rates for Hispanics are growing at a faster rate than other groups. So the wording is misleading, but the impact is real.

Illinois Latinos surpass African Americans in coronavirus cases
The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 11,848 cases among Latinos on Thursday and 11,353 among African Americans.

I get you and I agree to a point. The only issue with your post is that African Americans don’t just have a hot spot for coronavirus in illionios.


We have hot spots nationwide, East, west, north, south and central. It’s everywhere for us

I understand what you are saying, but I kind of think that the numbers are distorted nationally too, because most of the counties they are discussing are probably small. It is kind of misleading the way they worded the study, but I understand what they are attempting to say about the impact of the virus on the African American community.

shyt at least you are going to go get some medication, my hard head cousin died a month ago because he refused to take his medication and he was a in shape 22 year old. I advise everyone who has a family history of high blood or diabetes to get checked at least twice a year.
