Could the CoVid virus be able to know your political views or something like that????

Well 87% of all statistics are made up so there is that.

.

I'd suppose that it's a combination of a dislike for the privileged race making the rules, and social distancing guidelines.

:roll:
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

I saw a Dr. on Youtube discuss his theories on this.

In his practice he has observed for many years a deficiency in vitamin D in both hispanic and african communities. To the tune of 50 and 80% respectively, and that is his hypothesis as to why those demographics seem to be adversely affected.

He may be right. When I looked for reasons on the internet, it seems that they always give some series of issues (people living in close proximity, people having co-morbidities like diabetes and being overweight). But each and every one of the explanations I saw included the element of systemic racism against black folks. I'm not sure how that works when places where we are seeing higher rates are places that are controlled by anti-racist Democrats and have a lot of African American people in charge.

They seem to want to disregard that Native Americans also have some much higher death rates as well.
