Some of this is related to "living while black" (higher stress leading to hypertension, diabetes etc)......but a lot of it is just black people living in cities.

My guess is that there's no significant difference when all factors are equal. Poor white people live out in the sticks like West Virginia. Poor black people live in major metropolitan areas and can't avoid running into other people as easily. Put all the white people in urban areas and they'll go down just like they have in Italy.

Taken down just before the shutdown.....

[WITHDRAWN: Potential False-Positive Rate Among the 'Asymptomatic Infected Individuals' in Close Contacts of COVID-19 Patients] - PubMed

“In the close contacts of COVID-19 patients, nearly half or even more of the ‘asymptomatic infected individuals’ reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives.”

“Results: When the infection rate of the close contacts and the sensitivity and specificity of reported results were taken as the point estimates, the positive predictive value of the active screening was only 19.67%, in contrast, the false-positive rate of positive results was 80.33%. The multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analysis results supported the base-case findings, with a 75% probability for the false-positive rate of positive results over 47%.”


In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.

that don’t have nothing to do with the number of people already dead.

we’re talking about the numbers of deaths as of now.

you posting an article that has to do with false positive rate tests from asymptomatic people...

asymptomatic people don’t even show symptoms to begin with, hence why the tests could be flawed. Actually, weeks ago they told people that don’t have symptoms to not to get tested because of this very reason, false positive results

Dead from what is the question? Flu, Pneumonia, heart disease, stress, HBP, diabetes. It's great to say things in articles but we need actual numbers that reflect those who died from the virus, those who died from something else and separate it.

I’m pretty sure that’s the connection they’re making/made

They’re claiming those people died from COVID19.

the only ones making claims it’s something else, incorrect entirely, or just plain lies designed to scare, are the theorists without evidence.

It’s not hard to understand.

A lot of black people dont believe in science. I saw this video of mofos having a fukking one year olds birthday party and antagonizing the cops for telling them to go. I live in a pretty packed neighborhood and some dumbasses were having a fukking party.

@Gunz&Butta

These posters and countless others went around spreading misinformation that black people could't get it or die from it. They should be banned. I hope no one actually listened to those idiots.
you had mods themselves posting that bs :mjlol:
Didn’t that dumb ass @CHICAGO say that? :heh:


And those of us who were calling them out at the time were getting clapback for it. We TOLD ya'all that stupid shyt could be hazardous to the community and now look at what's happening. This fukking anti-intellectual bullshyt pisses me off so much.

Let's take the Italy cases... 99% of the deaths, people had health complications( multiple at that). 88% of them didn't die from CV, 12% of CV. You have to take account that would most likely be the same outcome.

But you cant prove the stats so why are you asking if people can disprove them? :jbhmm:
Because it’s YOU who doesn’t want to accept them.

I’m asking you, what stats do YOU personally have on the situation?

instead of regurgitating rhetoric designed to make people feel bitter.

you’re literally just bullshytting, it’s so obvious. That’s why you’re just attempting to discredit and turning it into a white/CAC thing when they just saying the amounts of people that died.

It’s simple math on how they got the numbers but I guess difficult for people in here.

you have absolutely ZERO evidence.

and then you accuse me of arguing for them, I’m saying if you’re so aware of what’s what, where the hell are your stats?

you keep posting old arguments that have nothing to do with the situation.

That’s a major reason why I have been going so hard at Umar and Tariq and the rest of these charlatans people here see as credible since the start. Pseudoscience is dangerous. It’ll kill you.

Nah man, I’m off the crazy train, you ain’t coherent at all.

Starting to feel like I’m talking to a bot or something...
