The virus is exactly what every medical text book i have read predicted would happen.
Well, it just coincidentally and mysteriously affects Black people far worse than anyone else.
It's not just due to comorbidities either. There is a particular SNP that is more common in African-descended people, which correlates highly to disease severity. I'll try to find my bookmark and post it here, but the SNP also predicted disease severity in whites (it was just less common)
Everyrhing is worse for poor people. Cant skip work, cant go to the doctor, dont always get all the right vitamins, all the useual. And because it is america black people are over represented in the poor population.
My middle class friends can work from home, get grocieries delivered and can get tests easily enough.
It makes sense they would get worse. The game has been rigged to ensure it is so.
Black people die more even when you control for location, income, and comorbidities. The virus, for whatever reason, is more deadly for Black people, for genetic reasons.
It also curiously seems to affect Asian people less (same death rate as Europeans, despite living almost exclusively in crowded cities)

I'm gonna pull a class reductionist here.
